Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cans crescent roll dough (one for ring, one for legs)
  • 2 black olives, halved (for eyes)
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain fat.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese.
  5. On the baking sheet, arrange crescent roll triangles in a circle with wide ends overlapping in the center.
  6. Spoon beef mixture onto the inner ring. Fold pointed ends over filling and tuck under to seal.
  7. Use the second can of dough to shape 8 spider legs and attach to the ring, bending for a jointed look.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Add olive halves for spider eyes. Serve with optional toppings.

Notes

  • Can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Try with chicken, plant-based meat, or extra cheese for variation.
  • For crispier leftovers, reheat in oven or air fryer instead of microwave.
  • Make mini versions for appetizers or party bites.
