Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning (about 1 oz)
  • 1 can Refrigerated Biscuit Dough (about 8 biscuits)
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Optional: ½ cup Refried Beans
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Green Chilies or Jalapeños (adjust to taste)
  • ½ cup Enchilada Sauce or Salsa
  • 1 small Onion, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic as the beef cooks, stirring often until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are translucent. Drain excess grease.
  2. Season the Meat: Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef and mix well to coat evenly. Stir in chopped green chilies or jalapeños, then add enchilada sauce or salsa to moisten the mixture.
  3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and tear it into bite-sized pieces. These will bubble up during baking to create a delicious texture.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Grease a baking dish. Spread a thin layer of refried beans on the bottom if using. Layer the beef mixture on top. Evenly distribute the biscuit dough pieces over the beef, then sprinkle shredded cheese generously over everything.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the casserole for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Notes

  • Use warm meat when assembling to help biscuit dough cook evenly.
  • Don’t overcrowd the biscuit pieces so they can bubble and puff properly.
  • For extra melty cheese, add half before baking and the rest during the last 5 minutes.
  • Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes before serving for easier slicing and better flavor melding.
  • Top with sour cream, cilantro, avocado, or sliced green onions for fresh brightness.
