List of Ingredients




1 1/4 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/2 cup diced green pepper (see below)
1 cup mild or medium chunky salsa
2 tsp. chili powder (or 1 tsp. taco seasoning)
1 8 oz. can refrigerator biscuits
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg

You can use a green bell pepper or if you prefer extra heat, use poblano, jalapeno or chipotle peppers.


Recipe



Brown the ground beef and drain; (add 1 tsp. olive oil for better browning if the beef is very lean).

Stir in the salsa and seasonings; simmer for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, separate the biscuits into about 10 pieces; pull apart each biscuit into 2 layers.

Press 10 pieces over bottom of ungreased 8 or 9-inch square baking pan.

Combine 1/2 cup cheese, sour cream and egg. Mix well.

Remove meat mixture from heat; stir in sour cream mixture; spoon over dough.

Arrange remaining biscuit layers on top.

Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.

Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes, until deep golden brown.

Note: In a pinch, a can of diced tomatoes or Rotel tomatoes may be substituted for the salsa. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Serves 4 or 5.
