Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Base:
    • 2 cups biscuit mix
    • ½ cup cold butter, cubed
    • ¾ cup milk
  • For the Filling:
    • 1 lb ground beef
    • 1 packet taco seasoning
    • 1 medium onion, diced
    • 1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)
    • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
    • 1 small can (4 oz) diced jalapeños (optional for spice)
  • For the Topping:
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Biscuit Base:
    • Mix the biscuit mix with cold butter until crumbly.
    • Stir in milk to form a dough. Press the dough into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Pre-bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Cook the Filling:
    • Brown the ground beef with onions and taco seasoning in a skillet. Add bell peppers and diced tomatoes. Stir until well combined.
  4. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Spread the cooked meat mixture evenly over the biscuit base.
    • In a separate bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, and garlic powder. Spread this mixture over the meat layer.
    • Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese on top if desired.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For a milder dish, substitute jalapeños with green chilies.
  • Add more vegetables like corn or black beans for extra texture.
  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
