Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 tablespoons taco seasoning, or one store packet
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup water
2 cups shredded co-jack cheese

Biscuits

2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup cold salted butter, cubed
1 cup cold milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a deep 9x13 casserole dish.
In a large skillet, brown beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain any grease.
To the cooked beef add: tomato sauce, taco seasoning, salt, and water.
Stir it together well and let simmer on low heat while you make the biscuits.
In a large bowl, combine the all purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
Cut in the cold butter with your fingers or with a pastry blender until it resembles course crumbs.
Stir in the milk just until fully combined.
Using a medium size scoop or 2 tablespoons, drop biscuit dough in rows on bottom of the casserole dish.
Spoon the taco meat mixture over the biscuits.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Then add the shredded cheese on top and bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and biscuits are no longer doughy. Use a toothpick inserted in biscuit to check for doneness.
Let taco bake rest for 5-10 minutes then serve with all your favorite taco toppings.
