Ingredients
- 1 can large biscuits 16 ounces
- 2 Pounds ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning 1 ounce
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9X13 baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the large biscuits into the bottom of the pan in a single layer on the bottom of the pan and halfway up the sides of the pan. Make sure to press the biscuits together to form a single layer.
- Bake the biscuit layer for 12-15 minutes until the dough is lightly browned. Remove from the oven but leave the oven on.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, water, diced onions and diced red bell pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook, covered, for 8-10 minutes until the onions and peppers are soft.
- Then pour the beef mixture on top of the biscuit layer in the baking pan.
- Spread the diced tomatoes with green chiles over the beef layer.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise and half of the shredded cheese. Spread this mixture on top of the tomatoes in the baking pan.
- Top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown slightly (20-25 minutes).
- Let the casserole sit for 10-15 minutes. Then it’s ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
