Taco Biscuit Recipe - Long, but super easy!

pjoann78

I don't have an exact recipe anymore, but this is basically what I do:

2 cans of refrigerated jumbo biscuit dough (I prefer the flaky ones) - makes 16 jumbo or 32 "small" ones

About 1 # of ground beef (chicken, turkey, shredded, whatever you like)

1 medium onion (chopped)

1- 4oz can of diced green chilies

8oz shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees

For the GTG, I made "small" ones in a regular muffin pan.  Normally I make them in a jumbo muffin pan. For the small ones, I split the biscuits in half (the flaky ones make this easy).  For the jumbo pan, I use a whole biscuit.

Brown the ground beef with the onion and green chilies.  Drain the grease. 

Spray the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray (if you have a really good non-stick pan, you don't need to do this)

Flatten out the biscuit (or 1/2 biscuit) and stretch it out so you can "line" the muffin cup.  Press it in the bottom and up the side of the cup. If you get a hole in the biscuit, just press it back to gether.

Spoon the meat filling into the biscuits

Bake 10-13 minutes or until biscuit starts to turn golden brown.  Sprinkle the cheese on them and then put them back in the oven for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Serve with pico, sour cream, guac, whatever you like with your tacos.

These also freeze really well.  Thaw them and then just heat them in the microwave.

Very easy!   Glad everyone liked them.

We also make "Pizza Biscuits" with pizza sauce, Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions (any pizza toppings!) and mozzarella cheese.  I'll brown the Italian sausage, everything else, I use raw.  I prefer chunks of pepperoni so I'll cut up a "stick" instead of the slices.  Mix the toppings with enough pizza sauce to get a good coating, more if you like your pizza really saucy. And then just spoon it in the biscuits and cook like above.

I make meatloaf like that sometimes.  Biscuit in the bottom of muffin tin, top with whatever you put in your meatloaf, bake at 350 for 30 minutes )

Sounds great! My step mom makes somthing similar (beef and biscuit skillet). It is just ground beef and mixed veggies with biscuit and cheese on top. DS loves it so I'm going to try this out for him. If he likes it it will be great to freeze (like you said) and pull out when I need something for him to eat. I may try it with the mixed veggies too! I always love easy meals to make and especially now that DS is wanting more and more table food.
