HOW TO MAKE TACO BUBBLE UP CASSEROLE
In a skillet on medium heat, add olive oil and diced white onion to pan. Then you'll add ground beef and cook thoroughly.
Add seasonings, cream cheese, rotel tomatoes and diced bell peppers to skillet and stir together. Turn off heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In 13x9 pan, add ground beef mixture to bottom of the casserole pan.
Then add layer of freshly shredded cheese.
Lastly, you'll add the final layer with cubed biscuit dough.
Cook for 15-20 minutes.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Biscuit dough: For this recipe, I used Pillsbury flakey biscuit dough. However, you can substitute with any brand that you have available.
Substitutions: If you want to make a higher protein option to swap for the cream cheese, you can add cottage cheese. It's a great alternative that still gives a creamy texture!
Cheese: For this recipe, I used freshly shredded colby jack cheese. You can also use preshredded cheese. If you do not have colby jack cheese available, you can substitute for mexican style or cheddar cheese. All of these will provide great flavor to the dish!
