BISCUIT TACO CASSEROLE



Biscuit Taco Casserole image

I got this recipe off of the Pillsbury site. Great meal to fix if time is limited. I did not add olives to mine. I did add sprinkle of red pepper flakes to ground beef mixture. But, we like "hot" food. Next time I am going to try sausage. On the cheese use 1 cup to 1 1/2 cup of each of the cheeses. We like cheesy so we use the 1 1/2 cup of each.
