Ingredients

  • 16.3 ounce can refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef preferably 85% lean
  • 1 ounce packet taco seasoning
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper diced
  • 10.5 ounce Rotel diced tomatoes with peppers
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 jalapenos, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the biscuits in a single layer in the baking dish. Press them together to create one layer of dough.
  • Transfer to the oven and bake until golden, about 14-16 minutes.
  • While the biscuits bake, cook ground beef. Place a large heavy-duty skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally until no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the excess fat from the skillet. Add the taco seasoning, salsa and rotel. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and half the shredded cheddar cheese. Slice the jalapeño into thin slices.
  • Layer the ingredients evenly on top of the baked biscuit crust in this order; start with the ground beef onion-pepper-tomato mixture, sour cream-cheddar mixture, top with sliced jalapeños. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown slightly, about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
