Description

A Tex-Mex style casserole with taco seasoned ground beef, a biscuit crust, Rotel tomatoes and a sour cream and cheese sauce. A hearty cowboy supper. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 oz) package Pillsbury crescent dough sheet
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 oz shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 1/2 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes, drained

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 325° F. Spray a 8×8 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough sheet and cut it in half. Press one half of the dough into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl whisk together the sour cream, mayo, 2 oz of the cheese and the cajun seasoning. Set aside.
  4. Heat a pan on the stove. Add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onions and taco seasoning. Brown for 5 minutes. Stir in the drained tomatoes and heat through. 
  5. Spread the beef mixture over the top of the baked crescent sheet. Use a spatula to spread the sour cream mixture over the top of the meat. Lay the other half of the crescent dough over the top. 
  6. Bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1 ounce of cheese over the top and bake for 5 more minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes. 
  7. Slice and serve. 

Notes

If you’re a fan of heat add in 1 Tbsp of chopped pickled jalapenos when you add in the Rotel.
