Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board
  • knife
  • skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 can biscuits 16.3 ounce can refrigerated
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 pkg taco seasoning
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 medium onion halved and sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper halved and sliced (1 1/2 cups)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese divided shredded Cheddar
  • 2 medium tomatoes sliced
  • 4 oz jalapeno peppers 4 ounce jar sliced, drained (Optional)

Instructions

  • Collect the necessary materials. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by lightly greasing it and placing it in a preheated 350 F (175 C) oven.
  • Put biscuit dough in the bottom of the pan and press it up the sides about halfway.
  • Spread the biscuit dough in the baking dish.
  • For about 15 to 20 minutes in a preheated oven, it should become lightly browned. Let the stove stay on.
  • Biscuits cooling on a wire rack after baking in a casserole dish.
  • Meanwhile, over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it is crumbly, about 5 minutes, in a nonstick skillet. Trim the fat. Mix in some taco spice and water and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Put the finished meat in a basin and clean the pan.
  • Prepare a skillet full of seasoned ground meat and add it.
  • In the same skillet, add the onion and bell peppers, and sauté them over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until they are just beginning to get soft.
  • Add Sliced bell peppers and onions cooking in a skillet.
  • Sour cream, mayonnaise, half the Cheddar cheese, and half the onion-pepper mixture should be mixed together.
  • Sour cream, cheddar cheese, peppers, and onions should be combined and placed in a bowl.
  • On top of the cooked biscuits, layer the browned meat, tomatoes, onion-pepper mixture, jalapeo peppers, and sour cream mixture. Add the remaining grated Cheddar cheese and sprinkle.
  • For 30-40 minutes in a preheated, uncovered oven, until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
