Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Taco Biscuit Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light greasing to a 9x13-inch baking pan to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Next, open a can of refrigerated biscuits and gently press the dough into the bottom of the pan, making sure to extend it halfway up the sides for a lovely crust.
Step 3
Pop the biscuit crust into the oven and let it bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until it turns a delightful golden brown.
Step 4
Remember to keep the oven on after you take out the crust; we’re not done yet! While the crust is baking, grab a nonstick skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add in your ground beef and cook it until it’s beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 6
Don’t forget to drain any excess fat to keep things nice and light.
Step 7
Now, stir in your taco seasoning along with some water, bringing the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 8
Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 9
When it’s done, transfer the seasoned meat to a bowl and give the skillet a quick wipe to prepare for the next step.
Step 10
In that same skillet, toss in sliced onions and bell peppers.
Step 11
Sauté them over medium heat until they’re just tender, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 12
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, half of the shredded Cheddar cheese, and half of the cooked onion-pepper mixture.
Step 13
This creamy blend will add a wonderful richness to your casserole.
Step 14
Now it’s time to layer your masterpiece! Start with the browned meat, then add sliced tomatoes, the remaining onion-pepper mixture, and jalapeno peppers if you’re feeling adventurous.
Step 15
Finally, spread that luscious sour cream mixture on top and sprinkle the rest of the Cheddar cheese over everything.
Step 16
Return your layered casserole to the oven and bake it uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Step 17
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Once it’s done, let it cool for a few moments before serving.
Step 18
Enjoy this hearty dish with family and friends, and watch as they savor every bite!.
