Taco Cups

Press biscuit dough into muffin tins and fill with a savory taco beef mixture. Then top with cheddar cheese and sour cream to make these tasty Taco Cups.
Servings: 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces biscuit dough, 8-count tube, or crescent dough
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning, or 2 teaspoons of chili powder
  • 15 ounces salsa
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3 cups lettuce, shredded
  • Guacamole, salsa and sour cream for garnish

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a medium skillet over medium high heat.
  • Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. While the beef mixture is cooking, open the tube of dough and separate the rolls. Flatten one roll into the bottom of a muffin cup. Press it along the sides and bottom of the cup. It doesn't have to look perfect. A few tips or edges sticking up are fine. One tube of biscuit dough will make eight taco cups.
  • Drain the ground beef and add the taco seasoning and salsa. Stir to combine and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Use a small measuring cup to fill the muffin cups with ground beef mixture.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Add a small amount of cheddar cheese to the top of each taco cup and bake for another 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove taco cups from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Remove them by inserting a knife around the edge of the cup and gently lifting them out. Serve with a shredded lettuce, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and more finely shredded cheese.
