• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can corn kernels, drained
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

4. Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef.

5. Add the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.

6. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.

7. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded Mexican blend cheese over the beef mixture.

8. Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters and arrange the pieces evenly on top of the cheese layer.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

10. Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

11. Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with sour cream on the side.
