A delightful twist on the classic taco pie, this savory bake is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the biscuit base.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the meat for even cooking.
Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well. Remove from heat.
Adjust seasoning to taste if you prefer a spicier or milder flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the baking mix, milk, and eggs until smooth.
Ensure there are no lumps in the batter for a smooth base.
Pour the beef mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread the biscuit batter evenly over the top.
Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly for consistent baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the center to ensure the biscuit base is fully cooked.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and return to the oven for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
For a golden finish, broil for an additional minute.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced olives.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or salsa for added flavor.
