Servings: 4 servings
Course: Appetizer, Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 oz taco seasoning package
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 6-oz cans refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits total)

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef. Stir until well combined and let simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  4. Stir in the salsa into the seasoned beef mixture.
  5. Open the refrigerated biscuits and separate them. Flatten each biscuit slightly and place them into the muffin tin cups.
  6. Spoon the beef and salsa mixture into each biscuit cup, filling them about ¾ of the way full.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the filled biscuit cups.
  8. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  9. Allow the Taco Biscuit Cups to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Customize with various toppings like sour cream or guacamole.
  • Try using ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
