Preparing the Foundation
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F and generously grease a 9×13 casserole dish to ensure a non-stick cooking experience.
- Cooking the Ground Beef: In a skillet, brown the 2 pounds of ground beef, ensuring to drain excess fat. Add the tantalizing taco seasoning, infusing a burst of flavor.
- Whisking the Biscuit Mix: In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 eggs and 3/4 cup of whole milk until well combined. Add the biscuit mix, salt, and pepper, setting aside this delectable mixture.
Building the Layers
- Layering the Casserole: Spread the seasoned ground beef in the greased casserole dish, creating a savory foundation. Pour the biscuit mix on top, ensuring an even distribution.
- Baking Perfection: Let the casserole bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top achieves a golden brown hue, creating a visual feast for anticipation.
- Topping Elegance: After cooling for a few minutes, elevate your taco casserole with a symphony of toppings—sour cream, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cheese, and optional sliced olives.
