Ingredients

• 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)
• 0 as desired Sliced jalapeños (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the beef mixture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
