Description

A hearty and comforting dish combining savory beef, vibrant vegetables, and a cheesy topping, perfect for family gatherings or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded, chopped
  • 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 1 ounce Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 2 ½ cups Biscuit Mix, like Bisquick
  • 1 cup Water
  • Cooking Spray, like Pam
  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces Diced Green Chiles, drained
  • 1 ½ cups Cheddar Cheese, Fiesta Blend, shredded, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ cup Salsa, mild

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, and cook until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit mix and water, stir until mixed, then press into a greased casserole dish. Bake for 5-8 minutes until set and lightly golden, then set aside.
  4. Add chopped onions and red bell pepper to the cooked ground beef and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning, then remove from heat.
  5. Spread the beef mixture over the biscuit layer.
  6. In a bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, drained green chiles, ¾ cup shredded cheese, and garlic powder until smooth and spread over the beef layer.
  7. Spoon salsa over the sour cream layer and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  8. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  9. Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally topped with cilantro or green onions.

Notes

Customize by adding vegetables like corn or black beans. For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey and use low-fat sour cream and mayonnaise.
