Taco Bake

Taco Bake
Serves 8 -- Points 6
Ingredients:
1 lb lean (93/7 or better) beef
1/2 c diced onion
1 package of low sodium taco seasoning
10 oz can tomatoes with chilies - drained
1 can reduced fat crescent rolls
15 oz can tomato sauce
15 oz can black beans
1 c 2% shredded mexican cheese

Directions:
Preheat the over to 375 degrees.  Brown beef with onion, drain.  Spray 13x9 pan with cooking spray.  Unroll the crescent rolls and squish together to form a flat crescent crust on the bottom of the pan.  Bake for 5 minutes and remove from the oven.  Stir tomatoes, sauce, seasoning, and beans into the beef.  Spread evenly over the crust and bake 10 minutes.  Sprinkle with cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

Optional: Make with salsa chicken instead of beef.  Place 2-3 chicken breasts in the crockpot, top with salsa - about a cup.  Cook until tender.  Shred with fork.
