Expert Tips

Mexican chorizo sausage can be substituted for the ground beef. Cheese can be omitted from the recipe.

For added convenience, look for bags of frozen chopped onions near the other frozen veggies

Super easy and extremely tasty. Both husband and I enjoy these thoroughly. I recommend cutting recipe in half for two. I also fold the biscuit entirely over the filling so I have a "hand held" dish especially good during football games. I normally don't tope them with salsa, etc. Great tasty dinner that I usually serve with spanish rice.

super yummy and easy to make! mine kept popping though, but even in the "open face" style, they were soft and delicious! i didn't have salsa or tomato sauce so i used jalapeno juice.

I love trying new things.....when I received your email with this one, I thought...someday. Cinco de Mayo was yesterday, and what better time. My hubby is a bit fussy... so had my doubts....he loved them! Said he likes them better than tacos! Now it's in my file of "to do's" again. Had a neighbor over and she wanted the recipe!!

I made this one evening, because it was a quick and interesting meal, and my husband LOVED it. He grew up in Texas and is a Mexican food freak. I was shocked, it was so easy and I was a bit concerned about how he would like the biscuit fold over. Since then I have made it for other members of our family and everyone likes it.
