1

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain. Return to skillet; stir in beans, corn, tomatoes, chiles, taco seasoning mix and chili powder. Heat to simmering.
2

Stir cream cheese into beef mixture until melted; remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese. Pour into baking dish.
3

Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces; top beef mixture with biscuits. Brush biscuits with melted butter. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and baked through.
