Taco Casserole

I tried a new recipe a few weeks ago and I had to share it because I think it turned out REALLY good.

My friend, Danielle came over to watch the series finale of The Hills with me. Neither of us really watched this season, but when we actually did watch the show we used to watch it together a lot, so it only seemed right to watched the finale together.

So, anyway, I told Danielle if she drove all the way to O-town to watch it that I would make dinner for her, so I did. and she really liked it too!

I found the recipe on some website, probably a blog, i don't really remember. It was super easy to make and SUPER, super good. It kind of reminded me of Mexican pizza. mmm!!!

Okay, here's the recipe! Enjoy!

16 oz. taco sauce

12 ounce can buttermilk biscuits

4-6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

4-6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

1 can sliced olives, drained

1 pound ground beef ( I used ground turkey. :))

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin (don't have this, so I didn't use it)

1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped

1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish. Spread taco sauce evenly over bottom of dish.

Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Place biscuit pieces in hot sauce, turn to coat. Sprinkle biscuits with half of the cheese and the olives. Bake for 15-18 minutes.

In a large skillet, combine ground beef, peppers, mushrooms, cumin and chili powder. Cook until ground beef is cooked through.

Sprinkle the ground beef mixture over the baked biscuit mixture. Top with the remaining cheese.

Bake an additional 5-7 minutes, until cheese is melted.
