HALLOWEEN JACK-O-LANTERN QUESO RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Pour the warm queso into a round or square serving bowl and place the "face" on the queso. Place a green onion on the top for the stem. Garnish with more blue corn chips and enjoy!

HALLOWEEN JACK-O'-LANTERN BEEF PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 10 muffin cups.
• Place ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until the meat is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, garlic powder, tomato sauce, carrot, and olives, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the skillet, and cook until thickened and the carrot is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Working on a floured surface, separate each biscuit, and roll out into 4-inch circles.
