Beefy Nacho Crescent Bake

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed nacho cheese soup, undiluted

1 cup milk

1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded Cheddar cheese

Chopped fresh cilantro

1.Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 13X9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

4.Spoon about 1/4 cup beef mixture into center of each square. Lift 4 corners of dough up over filling to meet in center; pinch and twist firmly to seal. Place squares in prepared dish.

5.Bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes or until crusts are golden brown. Sprinkle cheese over squares. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese melts. To serve, spoon soup mixture in dish over each serving; sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Serve with salsa, if desired.
