Cheesy Taco Sticks
Description
Cheesy Taco Sticks consist of taco-seasoned ground beef mixed with cheese sticks, all wrapped in pizza dough and baked until golden and cooked through. The ground beef is browned and seasoned with a taco mix to give it familiar southwestern flavors, then cooled to prevent sogging the dough. The dough is portioned into ten rectangles, each filled with seasoned beef and halved colby jack cheese sticks, rolled up tightly to encase the filling.
Before baking, the breadsticks are brushed generously with a mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley, which adds a savory and aromatic crust. Baking at a high temperature crisps the dough quickly while melting the cheese inside. These taco sticks are served hot, making a portable and flavorful option suitable for casual meals or parties.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 tube pizza dough refrigerated, Pillsbury
- 5 colby jack cheese sticks cut in half
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often until completely cooked. Drain off the excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and stir well. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Lay the pizza dough out flat. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 5 equal rectangles to form a total of 10 rectangles.
- Spoon the cooled taco meat down the center of each rectangle, then top with half of a colby jack cheese stick.
- Roll the pizza dough up over the meat and cheese and pinch closed to form a breadstick.
- Place the taco sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Combine the butter, garlic powder, and dry parsley, then generously brush over top of the taco breadsticks.
- Bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot.
