Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup water
1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Press biscuit dough into the bottom of the dish, pinching the edges together to form a crust.
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and water to the beef and simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- In a bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, and chopped onion until combined.
- Layer the cooked beef over the biscuit crust in the baking dish.
- Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the beef layer.
- Top with diced green chilies, chopped tomatoes, and bell pepper (if using).
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
