Ever since I made those crazy delicious Cheesy Pizza Sticks, I’ve been dreaming up new flavors to stick inside some pizza dough to make another delicious snack time recipe.
I think what I love the most about these taco sticks is that I can use leftover taco meat from our taco dinners.
We always seem to have just enough taco meat leftover and using it in these cheesy breadsticks is the perfect way to repurpose it!
I went ahead and cut the cheese sticks in half for this recipe because I couldn’t seem to fit all of the cheese inside without it oozing out all over. I found that half a stick was a perfect balance of meat, cheese and bread.
I am pretty sure I could survive off of just meat, cheese and bread. Who’s with me?!
These cheesy taco breadsticks are the ultimate game day snack. A pizza crust is topped with seasoned ground beef, cheddar cheese, and crushed tortilla chips before being baked to perfection.
Cheesy Taco Sticks Recipe
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 tube Pillsbury Pizza Dough
5 colby jack and cheddar cheese sticks, halved
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning to the beef, following the instructions on the packet. Stir well and set aside.
Roll out the Pillsbury Pizza Dough on a floured surface and cut it into 10 equal rectangles.
Spoon some of the seasoned ground beef onto each rectangle, then place a halved cheese stick on top.
Roll the dough around the beef and cheese, pinching the edges to seal. Place the taco sticks on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush the mixture over each taco stick.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Allow the cheesy taco sticks to cool slightly before serving.
