Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9x12 inch oblong pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Brown ground beef, then place in a colander to drain fat.
- In the same pan, cook onions, then add cooked ground beef, taco seasoning mix, garlic powder, tomato paste and water (half of the empty tomato paste can filled with water).

- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted and dough is lightly browned.
- Cut into squares and top each serving with diced tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream.
- Makes 6 generous servings.
- VARIATIONS: If desired, you can use light or fat free sour cream for the garnish. You can also substitute cheese with a package of shredded Mexican or Taco flavored cheese if you want.
