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
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 8 biscuits, refrigerated biscuits, such as Grands
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack, shredded, or a 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.
