In a large bowl, add the biscuit mix with water (measurements on the back of the package) and stir to combine. If using Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, I like to add the seasoning packet that comes in the box for the topping right into the mix for extra flavor. Then, push the mixture down into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13” baking dish using your fingers. Careful, it will be a little sticky.

In a large skillet, sauté the chopped garlic and onion in a little olive oil until soft.

Add the ground beef and cook it according to the directions on the back of the taco seasoning packet. We’re using two packets for extra flavor instead of one! Add the beef mixture evenly on top of the biscuits.

In a medium sized bowl, add the sour cream, mayonnaise and half of the cheddar cheese. Season it with salt, pepper and garlic powder and mix everything together. Pour the mixture on top of the beef and spread it out so that it’s flat and even.

Sprinkle more cheese on the top and place it into the center rack of the oven for 30-35 minutes.

Tips & Variations for Your Cowboy Biscuit Casserole
- Spice it Up: For those who love a little heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to your ground beef mixture or using a 'hot' taco seasoning.
- Add Veggies: Boost the nutrition and texture by stirring in a can of drained corn, black beans, or diced bell peppers with your ground beef. It's a great way to sneak in extra goodness!
- Cheese Please: While cheddar is fantastic, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like Monterey Jack, a Mexican blend, or even a smoked gouda for a different flavor profile.
Serve your Cowboy Biscuit Casserole with a dollop of fresh salsa, a side of guacamole, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor. It’s a versatile dish that promises a hearty, satisfying meal every time.
