This Southwest Beef Bake has ground beef, onion, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies and a flavorful tomato sauce all sandwiched between crescent dough. This is one of those easy and delicious recipes that you can make in just about 30 minutes, and your whole family will absolutely love it! Top this with sour cream, hot salsa, guacamole, lime or jalapeño and enjoy!
Here are some tips for making my Southwest Beef Bake:
- If you can find the uncut sheets of crescent dough, get that. Those work better for recipes like this one than the precut crescent roll dough. Don’t worry if you can only find the regular crescent dough, though. That will work fine!
- I like to use lean ground beef for this recipe, but you could also use ground turkey or ground venison. Whatever you prefer will be delicious.
- If you like you food spicy, use the hot diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel). You could also use the mild if you are more sensitive to heat.
- This dish could be assembled ahead of time and the frozen for up to 3 months. This would be a great freezer meal to deliver to someone after having a baby or a sick friend.
