6. Spoon the cooked taco-seasoned ground beef evenly over the refried beans layer.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese over the ground beef layer.
8. Scatter diced tomatoes, sliced black olives (if using), and chopped green onions (if using) over the cheese layer.
9. Bake the taco bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove the taco bake from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into squares.
