Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef (browned and drained)
1 ounce packet taco seasoning plus water listed on the back or my homemade taco seasoning
16 ounce can large biscuits
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
8 ounces cheddar cheese (shredded and divided)
1 medium onion (halved and sliced)
2 medium tomatoes (sliced)
1 medium red bell pepper (halved and sliced)
4 ounces canned sliced Jalapeno peppers

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F and place your oven rack in the center. Spray a 13x9 glass baking dish.
Place biscuits in pan in a single layer and press into the pen, joining them together, pressing the dough halfway up the sides of the pan. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake dough in preheated oven for 15-25 minutes; checking every few minutes after 15. The dough should be very light brown where the edges are just starting to get color. Remove from oven and set aside, leave oven on.
While biscuits are baking, combine the browned ground beef with the taco seasoning and water, and cook according to packet instructions. Transfer cooked taco meat to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out pan.
In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of onions. Stir well and set aside.
Saute remaining onions and bell peppers on the taco meat pan until slightly tender.
On top of baked biscuit crust, layer ingredients in the following order: taco meat, tomato slices, bell pepper and onion mixture, Jalapeno peppers, sour cream mixture and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes or until edges of dough are lightly browned and cheese is melted.

This one was different than the others I saw on here so thought I'd add it. I'd seen it on facebook. The individual who posted stated it was from a Mississippi Magazine

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef, cooked and drained
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
4 ounces sour cream
4 ounces mayonnaise or 4 ounces light sour cream
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 cups biscuit mix (I would find something else for this to many carbs!!!! )
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 (4 ounce) can sliced jalapeno peppers

Steps:

Heat oven to 325. Brown ground beef and add taco seasoning and water, according to packet instructions; set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, 4 ounces of cheddar cheese, and half of the onions; set aside.
Stir biscuit mix and water (directions on box) to form soft dough. Pat dough on the bottom and one-half-inch up the sides of an 9 x 13 inches greased casserole dish.
Saute remaining onions and bell peppers until slightly tender.
On top of biscuit mix, evenly distribute ingredients in the following order: ground beef, tomato slices, green peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers, sour cream mixture and end with remaining shredded cheese.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until edges of dough are lightly browned.

Tips

For a richer flavor, brown the ground beef before adding it to the casserole.
If you don't have canned cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute a can of cream of celery soup or cream of chicken soup.
To make the casserole ahead of time, cook it according to the directions and then let it cool completely. Store the casserole in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the casserole in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat it in a 350 degree F oven until heated through.
To add some extra vegetables to the casserole, stir in a cup of chopped carrots, celery, or peas before baking.
If you don't have baking powder, you can substitute a teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
