Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 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
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 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.

Step 11

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