This one was different than the others I saw on here so thought I'd add it. I'd seen it on facebook. The individual who posted stated it was from a Mississippi Magazine

Categories < 60 Mins

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef, cooked and drained
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
4 ounces sour cream
4 ounces mayonnaise or 4 ounces light sour cream
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 cups biscuit mix (I would find something else for this to many carbs!!!! )
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 (4 ounce) can sliced jalapeno peppers

Steps:

Heat oven to 325. Brown ground beef and add taco seasoning and water, according to packet instructions; set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, 4 ounces of cheddar cheese, and half of the onions; set aside.
Stir biscuit mix and water (directions on box) to form soft dough. Pat dough on the bottom and one-half-inch up the sides of an 9 x 13 inches greased casserole dish.
Saute remaining onions and bell peppers until slightly tender.
On top of biscuit mix, evenly distribute ingredients in the following order: ground beef, tomato slices, green peppers, onions, jalapeno peppers, sour cream mixture and end with remaining shredded cheese.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until edges of dough are lightly browned.

Tips:

Use a good quality sausage for the best flavor. Jimmy Dean and Bob Evans are both popular brands.
If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own by combining 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Add some shredded cheese to the casserole for extra flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
If you want a vegetarian version of the casserole, you can omit the sausage and add some chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms.
Serve the casserole with a side of fruit or salad for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

John Wayne Breakfast Casserole is a hearty and delicious dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its simple ingredients and big flavor, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
