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.
