Description
A hearty Tex-Mex casserole featuring layers of ground beef, vegetables, and cheese, perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and 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 shredded cheddar cheese (Fiesta blend), divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup mild salsa
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉.
- In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix and water until well mixed. Coat a 9 x 13 casserole dish with cooking spray and press the biscuit dough evenly into the dish. Bake for 5-8 minutes or until set and lightly golden.
- To the skillet with the beef, add the chopped onions and red bell pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning and remove from heat.
- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the baked biscuit layer.
- In another bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, drained chiles, ¾ cup of cheese, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and spread it over the beef layer.
- Spoon salsa over the sour cream layer and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Return the casserole to the oven, uncovered, and bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
