For me, I get real satisfaction when my children like the dinner recipe I made. And, to be honest, probably much like your own house, it doesn’t happen all too often. 😉 But, this one was an absolute hit at this house… and the leftovers were the bomb, too. Let me tell you how to whip this easy and cheap dinner up.
Combine the biscuit mix and water and spread in a lightly greased 13×9 baking dish (I use this one and love it).
Bake uncovered at 375° for 9 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Meanwhile, brown and drain the ground beef. Add the taco seasoning, tomato sauce and garlic powder. Spread mixture over crust. Now combine the sour cream, cheese and mayo. Spoon over ground beef mixture and sprinkle with paprika. Bake uncovered at 375° for 25 more minutes. Once done, cut into squares and top each piece with your favorite toppings. I love this recipe because you could get your meat mixture and your cheese mixture ready beforehand and throw everything together last minute. I tell ‘ya – the leftovers are amazing, so make sure you leave some for lunch the next day! 🙂
