GRAND TACO PIE

Steps:

• 1. Biscuit Dough Prep: Open the Pillsbury Grands Biscuits. In an approximate 10x10 ungreased baking dish, take four biscuit dough rounds and on the bottom of the baking dish place one round of dough in each corner. Gently press and blend the biscuit dough rounds together to completely cover the bottom of the baking dish. Then take the remaining four biscuit dough rounds, break each in half and up the sides of the baking dish, place biscuit halves in each corner and one in between the corners and continue to press and blend the biscuit dough along the sides and into the bottom until you have completely lined the bottom and sides of the baking dish with the biscuit dough. Set aside.
• 2. On the stove, saute the onion in a splash of olive oil until transparent, add ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain, if necessary and return to heat.
• 3. Add taco seasoning mix, 1/2 cup water and simmer for 10 -15 minutes. (Note: feel free to add other ingredients that you may like i.e. corn, cooked baked potato, peppers, etc.. it's up to you how you might want to personalize it to your families liking).
• 4. Transfer meat mixture to the dough lined baking dish and distribute evenly.
• 5. Cut fresh tomatoes in slices, as you would for sandwiches and place evenly on top of the meat mixture covering completely.
• 6. Cut the Mozzarella ball into slices and place evenly on top of the tomatoes, covering completely.

BISCUITS AND TACO PIE

Steps:

• Taco Pie:.
• In a 9 inch skillet or dutch oven (I like cast iron), cook the ground beef until gray and drain.
• Add the chopped onion and cook until soft.
• Drain the corn and Ro-Tel tomatoes, reserving the drained liquid.
• Add the taco seasoning package and cook according to the package directions, using the reserved liquid.
• Add the tomatoes, corn and water and simmer gently while making the biscuits.
• Biscuits:.
• To the flour, add the baking soda if using buttermilk.
• Mix and make a well in the flour.
• Add oil and milk, stirring as you add it until the dough is on the verge of being too wet.
• Place the dough on a well-floured surface.
• With floured hands, shape the dough, not kneading more than 2 or 3 times, adding flour needed to keep the dough from sticking.
• Pat out to 3/8 inch thickness and cut into 8 biscuits 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Baking:.
• Place the biscuits on the taco pie and place in a 450 F oven.
• Cook for 15 minutes or until brown, sprinkling cheese between the biscuits for the last 5 minutes.
