Do you ever get in that “What’s for dinner” rut? We have come to your rescue with this delicious Crescent Roll Burrito Bake. It’s a tasty easy meal that can be on the table in 50 minutes, and most of that time is baking.
We like the simplicity of this recipe. The prep is so easy, and then stick it in the oven. While it’s cooking you can still get things done or help with homework.
We love the crescent roll dough as the crust. It’s thicker than a tortilla and full of flavor with the crescent roll. It was soft and chewy and downright amazing.
What are other add-in options for this recipe?
There are many variations you can use when making Crescent Roll Burrito Bake. We have talked to many readers that have given us so many suggestions. Look in your fridge and throw in those extra veggies or cheese options.
Here are some of our favorite Add-Ins:
- Salsa – fresh or bottled salsa goes well with burritos. Feel free to add it to the meat mixture or put it on top of each serving.
- Corn – canned corn is an easy add in to your hamburger mixture.
- Black Beans– we love black beans in all of our Mexican food recipes.
- Mexican Blend Cheese – our recipe calls for cheddar and Mozzarella cheese. But kick it up a notch with a shredded Mexican blend cheese.
- Sour Cream – sour cream is great served with burritos as a topping.

How to make crescent roll burrito bake:
Very few ingredients are needed for our Crescent Roll Burrito Bake. They are ingredients we usually have on hand.
Cook the hamburger with the diced onion on med/high heat until hamburger is cooked through and no longer pink. Be sure to drain the grease well.
Add the refried beans and taco seasoning to the hamburger mixture and mix well until combined. Set aside.

Place in an oven heated to 350 and bake uncovered for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Then add your shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced olives to the top of the burrito bake. Serve warm.

Have you seen our YouTube channel?
The family loved it! Have seen this on pinterest for a while now, finally tried it and it was delicious! The only thing I did different was spread the beans over the cresent rolls instead of mixing them with the meat. I wanted layers 😁
I have made something like this before but found that the dough on bottom didn’t bake. The filling is awesome. I would love to try this again. Any tricks for getting the roll on bottom to be cooked through.
Sherry,
Prebake your crescent crust for about 8 minutes before adding the filling, then bake for the regular time. The crust should finish baking and not remain soggy.
Do I add water when I add the taco seasoning?
No water added to this.
Could you use Turkey instead of beef
