Equipment
Ingredients
For the beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 1 yellow or red bell pepper chopped
- 2 pounds ground beef I prefer lean beef
- ¾ cup water
- 1 ounce taco seasoning packet or 3 tablespoons of taco seasoning
For the Biscuit Base
- 2 cups Bisquick mix
- 1 cup water
To Assemble
- 2 Roma tomatoes sliced
- 4 ounce can green chili peppers
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prep your tools. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with oil and preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Saute the veggies. Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the chopped onion and chopped bell pepper, and saute for about 4 to 5 minutes to soften.
- Add ground beef to the skillet. Stir in the beef and cook on medium-high heat until the beef is fully cooked. Add 3/4 cup water and the taco seasoning to the skillet, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the mixture thickens. This will take about 10 minutes.
- Make the biscuit layer. Combine Bisquick mix with water and make the dough. Spread the dough over the bottom of the baking dish, pressing it in with your fingers.
- Add beef and tomatoes. Add the ground beef mixture over the dough layer. Then, add a layer of sliced tomatoes over the beef and top with green chili peppers.
- Make the sour cream layer. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise with sour cream and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Spread this mixture over the tomatoes and chilis.
- Top with cheese. Sprinkle the top with cheddar and remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake. Bake the casserole for 35-40 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 8 to 10 minutes before serving.
