Ingredients
- 2 lb ground beef
- 1 oz taco seasoning packet
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 3/4 cups biscuit mix or Bisquick
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups lettuce chopped or shredded
- 1 cup tomato finely chopped
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
- black olives sliced, optional
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth, then stir in the biscuit mix along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning until well coated.
- Spread the seasoned beef evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the biscuit batter over the beef and gently spread it into an even layer.
- Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and set in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes so it sets up slightly.
- Spread the sour cream evenly over the warm casserole.
- Top with lettuce, tomatoes, olives if using, and finish with a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Slice, serve warm, and enjoy your taco-inspired comfort bake.
Notes
For extra flavor, add jalapeños, salsa, or crushed tortilla chips on top. You can also swap ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
