🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 16 oz Refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Grands biscuits)
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
• 2/3 cup Water
• 10 oz Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• as desired Sliced jalapeños (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess grease.

3. Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the cooked beef. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

4. Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies and mix until evenly combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

5. Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Add the biscuit pieces to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.

6. Pour the beef mixture over the biscuit pieces, spreading it out to cover the entire dish.

7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are fully baked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

9. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes to set. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeños, if desired.

10. Serve warm and enjoy!
