Tips:
- For a vegetarian version, omit the ground beef and add an extra can of black beans.
- For a spicier dish, add a teaspoon of chili powder or cumin to the filling.
- If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Be sure to use a large skillet to cook the filling, so that the meat and vegetables have plenty of room to brown.
- Don't overcook the filling, or it will become dry and tough.
- Use a biscuit mix that contains baking powder, so that the biscuits will rise in the oven.
- If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a glass or a cup to cut out the biscuits.
- Be sure to brush the biscuits with melted butter before baking, so that they will be golden brown.
