Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands!)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) corn, drained
- 1 can (4.5 ounces) chopped green chilies (optional)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Sour cream (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until it’s browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Onion: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Season the Meat: Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the seasoning is well combined and the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Mix the Sauces: Add the enchilada sauce and tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Biscuits: Cut each biscuit from the can of refrigerated biscuit dough into four pieces. This helps the dough bake evenly and soak up the flavors.
- Assemble the Bake: In a large mixing bowl, combine the meat mixture, biscuit pieces, black beans, corn, and green chilies (if using). Stir until the biscuit pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Add Optional Toppings: If desired, top the bake with diced tomatoes, black olives, and fresh cilantro.
- Serve: Let the bake cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a spicier version, use hot enchilada sauce or add some chopped jalapeños.
- Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite enchilada ingredients, like adding bell peppers or substituting pinto beans for black beans.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or Mexican rice.
