John Wayne Casserole

I have made this twice now its a big hit. It is a really easy dish to prepare its one of those casseroles from the 50's our grandmothers made. I think its OK to make a casserole one in a while, once a week even. On that one day that's super hectic having it ready in the fridge to pop in the oven saves our lives sometimes.

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef, cooked and drained

1 (1.25-ounce) packet taco seasoning

4oz sour cream

4oz mayonnaise

8oz Cheddar cheese, shredded and divided

1 yellow onion, sliced

2c biscuit mix

2 tomatoes, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

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 in. 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.
