Ingredients
Scale
Ground Beef Mixture:
- 1.5 pounds Lean Ground Beef
- 1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded, chopped
- 1 Yellow Onion, chopped
- 1 ounce Taco Seasoning Mix
Biscuit Layer:
- 2 ½ cups Biscuit Mix, like Bisquick
- 1 cup Water
Sour Cream Mixture:
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 4 ounces Diced Green Chiles, drained
- 1 ½ cups Cheddar Cheese, Fiesta Blend, shredded, divided
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Additional Layers:

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350℉.
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Drain off any excess fat. (While the meat cooks, you can prepare the biscuit dough.)
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix and water. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and press the dough into the dish, spreading it out to the edges. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-8 minutes. Set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: Add onions and red bell pepper to the cooked ground beef. Stir and cook for about 4 minutes. Add taco seasoning and mix well. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Layers: Spread the ground beef mixture evenly on top of the baked biscuit layer.
- Prepare the Sour Cream Layer: In a bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, green chiles, ¾ cup shredded cheese, and garlic powder. Spread this mixture over the ground beef layer.
- Add Salsa and Cheese: Spoon salsa over the sour cream layer. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
