Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Stir baking mix, milk, and 1 tablespoon oil together in a bowl. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven until just starting to turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. This step is just par-baking - this layer will not be fully baked at this point. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through, about 4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add onion and poblano, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes more. Stir in taco seasoning and salt until evenly combined. Remove from heat; set aside.

  6. 6

    Add mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 cup pepper Jack cheese, and 1 cup Cheddar cheese to a bowl; stir until well combined.

  7. 7

    Spoon beef mixture evenly over par-baked biscuit in the baking dish. Sprinkle drained diced tomatoes evenly over beef. Carefully spoon mayonnaise mixture over beef and tomatoes. Sprinkle evenly with remaining shredded cheese.

  8. 8

    Bake, uncovered, until cheese is bubbly and starting to turn golden brown, about 30 minutes.

  9. 9

    Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro or green onions.
