Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove stem, seeds, and ribs, and cut bell pepper into 1/4" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Drain and rinse beans in a colander/strainer. Transfer beans to a mixing bowl and mash with a fork until slightly chunky.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Place a large oven-safe non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add bell peppers to hot pan. Stir occasionally until slightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Add ground beef. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Drain any excess liquid from pan. Pan will be hot! Use caution.

    Add 2 tsp. biscuit mix (reserve remaining for biscuit topper) and stir often until no dry mix remains.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce

    Add corn, beans, white portion of green onions, taco seasoning, 1 cup water, tomato sauce, and 1/4 tsp. salt to hot pan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir occasionally until sauce is slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4

    Add the Biscuit Topper

    In another mixing bowl, combine remaining biscuit mix, half the cheese (reserve remaining for topping), and 1/2 cup water. Stir until a thick and tacky dough forms.

    If too dry, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Evenly top ground beef mixture with 8-10 dollops of batter, then remaining cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake Casserole and Finish Dish

    Transfer oven-safe pan to hot oven.

    Bake until biscuits are golden-brown and firm, 15-20 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Pan handle will be hot! Use oven mitt.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping casserole with sour ream. Garnish with green portions of green onions. Bon appétit!
