Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Chopped lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the cooked beef.
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit with your hands or roll it gently with a rolling pin to create a 4-inch circle.
Press each flattened biscuit into a cup of the prepared muffin tin, pushing it up the sides to form a cup shape.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned meat mixture into each biscuit cup.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the meat mixture in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuits are golden brown.
Carefully remove the Taco Biscuit Bites from the muffin tin and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Before serving, top each bite with sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped lettuce, and a sprinkle of cilantro if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
