Of course, another love that I can't wait to do when it gets colder here, CHILI!!!!
off topic maybe.. but a tip for all that I tried and it works GREAT...
Take that crock pot that we ALL love, fill it up with ground beef (5 lbs or so depending on size), put that baby on high, stir on and off for about 4 hours... Let cool, package up in containers, baggies 1, 2 lbs at time and then time you want to make chili, tacos, etc... Pull it out to defrost, throw it all together, FAST meals....

I did a Pampered Chef party this spring and the rep did a fun one!
Taco Ring
Need 2 cans crescent dough
1lb hbgr meat
taco seasoning
lettuce and other taco-like veggies and toppings... tomato, peppers, olives, sour cream, cheese, guacamole, etc
Fry the hamburger meat and season for tacos as you normally would.
On a flat cookie sheet or stone, lay the first can of crescent dough triangles out flat. You will lay them in a circle around the edge. The triangles have one short side and two very long ones. The short side goes in towards the center of the pan, and the next one goes right next to it so it ends up looking something like this: (edited because it took all my spaces out! please ignore all the dots.....!)
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Then take the second can and do the same thing, only this time you will be layering it on top of the others you've already placed, and in-between so that it's tiered. So, the peaks of the second can's top layer of triangles will be halfway between the peaks of the bottom layer's triangles.
Then you're going to spoon the taco meat onto the dough near the flat ends, and pull the points over the top of it, similar to what you'd do if you were wrapping a sausage in the crescent triangle. Smoosh the triangle peak into the crescent dough base. Bake in the oven per crescent package directions, usually 350 for 10 minutes or so.
When it's finished baking, create a bed of lettuce in the center of the circle. Then place all your other veggies and toppings on top of that. Guests cut a slice of taco ring and grab some of whichever toppings they like, and eat with a fork. Yummy! And much easier than it sounds.
