Cheesy Taco Sticks (Printable)

Soft breadsticks stuffed with seasoned beef and melted cheese, baked until golden. Perfect for parties, game days, or a fun family dinner.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1/2 pound ground beef

02 - 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

05 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

06 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

07 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

08 - 1 can (14 oz) refrigerated pizza dough

09 - Fresh cilantro or chives, chopped

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat.

03 - Stir in taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until well mixed. Set aside to cool slightly.

04 - Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 12 × 16 inches). Cut into 8 equal strips.

05 - Place a spoonful of the seasoned beef and a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese along one edge of each dough strip.

06 - Fold the dough over the filling, pinch and seal the edges tightly to form a stick.

07 - Arrange the sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter.

08 - Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

09 - Sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.

01 -

The combination of seasoned beef and melted cheese wrapped in soft bread is comfort food at its finest
They come together in under 40 minutes but taste like something from a restaurant
Everyone gets their own handheld portion so no fighting over the last piece

02 -

Let the beef cool slightly before filling the dough or the cheese will start melting too fast
Pinch the seams really well because any opening will let cheese escape and make a mess
Room temperature dough is much easier to handle than cold dough straight from the fridge
