Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 85/15
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 can, 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 can, 8 biscuits refrigerated biscuits, such as Grands
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend, divided use

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef without disturbing for 4 minutes; add the onions and bell pepper and continue cooking until the ground beef is no longer pink. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
  • Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and tomato sauce. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed. Simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, separate the dough into 10 biscuits, then separate each biscuit into 2 layers. You may have to use a knife to cut them horizontally into 2 rounds. Press half of the layers over the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch square baking dish.
  • In a bowl, combine the sour cream with the egg and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir until well blended; stir into the meat mixture. Spoon the meat and sour cream mixture over the dough. Top with the remaining biscuit rounds.
  • Bake for 20 to 24 minutes, until biscuits are browned.
  • Top with the remaining cheese and return to the oven. Bake until the cheese has melted.
