# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
03 - Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.
04 - Stir in kidney beans, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove from heat.
05 - Arrange crescent roll triangles in a ring on the prepared baking sheet, with wide ends overlapping in center and points facing outward, forming a sunburst shape with a center hole.
06 - Spoon beef chili mixture around base of crescent ring. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over filling.
07 - Fold pointed ends of dough triangles over filling and tuck under center to seal.
08 - Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
