California Taco Chili Bake

By ldelmas

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 ounces) chili with beans
• 1 1/2 cups Original Bisquick® mix
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (3 ounces)
• Paprika
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
• Additional shredded Cheddar cheese, if desired

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400°F. Heat chili, stirring occasionally, until hot.
2 Beat Bisquick mix and milk with wire whisk until soft dough forms. Spread half of the dough in ungreased square baking dish, 9x9x2 or 8x8x2 inches. Top with chili. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup cheese. Drop remaining dough by 6 spoonfuls onto top. Sprinkle with paprika.
3 Bake about 25 minutes or until topping is light brown. Top with lettuce, tomatoes and additional cheese.
Tips:The shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes can be picked up ready to use from the salad bar at your supermarket.

Feel free to use your favorite cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Mexican, instead of the Cheddar.
