  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)
  • 1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained

  • 1 can (7.5 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 teaspoon yellow cornmeal, if desired

Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch ovenproof skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain. Reduce heat to medium; stir in taco seasoning mix, corn and tomato sauce. Heat until hot. Stir in cheese cubes.

2 Separate dough into 10 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Arrange quartered biscuits around outer edge of skillet. Brush biscuits with melted butter; sprinkle with cornmeal.

3 Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
Be sure that the skillet you use for this easy meal can go into the oven, handle and all.
