John Wayne Casserole.
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef, cooked and drained
1 (1.25-ounce) packet taco seasoning
4 ounces sour cream
4 ounces mayonnaise
8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 cups biscuit mix
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 (4-ounce) can sliced jalapeno peppers
Directions:
1. Prepare the Beef Mixture
Heat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a skillet, cook the ground beef until browned and drained. Add the taco seasoning according to the packet instructions, and set the mixture aside.
2. Mix the Creamy Topping
In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, 4 ounces of Cheddar cheese, and half of the sliced onions. Mix well and set aside.
3. Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Follow the instructions on the biscuit mix packet, adding water to form a soft dough. Pat the dough into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a greased 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.
4. Sauté the Vegetables
Sauté the remaining onions and green bell peppers in a pan until slightly tender.
5. Assemble the Casserole
Layer the ingredients over the biscuit dough in the following order: ground beef, tomato slices, sautéed onions and peppers, sliced jalapenos, the sour cream mixture, and finally, the remaining shredded Cheddar cheese.
6. Bake the Casserole
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges of the biscuit dough are lightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
