large skillet
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 (10oz) can red enchilada sauce
- 1 (10oz) can rotel tomatoes (or you can substitute a can of regular diced tomatoes and/or add 4 oz diced green chilis)
- 1 (15oz) can kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15-17oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (mexican or fiesta blend or cheddar)
- garnishes: sliced green onions, cilantro and sour cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray and set a side.
In a large skillet heat up 1 TBS cooking oil. Break up ground beef and add onion. Cook until ground beef is no longer pink and onion has softened. Drain off any excess grease.
Mix in enchilada sauce, rotel tomatoes and corn. Turn off burner.
On a cutting board, pull apart biscuit dough and cut into 8 pieces per biscuit.
Spread dough pieces into prepared baking dish evenly. Pour half of the meat mixture all over the biscuit pieces in baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the meat mixture. Pour rest of meat mixture over the cheese evenly and then sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese on top of the meat mixture.
Bake in preheated oven uncovered for 35-40 minutes. Test with a toothpick by inserting toothpick through a biscuit piece and it should come out clean. Garnish with green onions and/or cilantro. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with sour cream as an option.
