Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
• 8 ounces Tomato sauce
• 1 package Refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
• 0.5 cup Tomatoes, diced
• 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning mix and tomato sauce, then cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual pieces. Press each piece into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin tin cups to form a shell.

Step 5

Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the taco beef mixture into each biscuit shell. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each one.

Step 6

Bake the taco pies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 7

Allow the taco pies to cool slightly in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then gently remove them using a fork or spatula.

Step 8

Top each taco pie with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, and chopped green onions.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
