Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., buttermilk biscuits)
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 package Taco seasoning
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 cup Salsa
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives (optional)
- 0.25 cup Diced jalapeños (optional)
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters and set them aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until thoroughly browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain the excess fat.
Add the taco seasoning and water to the cooked ground beef. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the quartered biscuit dough pieces with the taco-seasoned beef mixture and salsa. Mix until the dough is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the mixture with shredded Mexican blend cheese, spreading it across the dish evenly.
If using, sprinkle sliced black olives and diced jalapeños on top of the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is fully cooked and puffed, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Mexican Bubble Pizza!
