Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green chile pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, onion and green chile pepper; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, chili powder ,and garlic salt. Simmer while preparing the biscuits.
  • Separate biscuit dough into 10 biscuits. Pull each biscuit into 2 layers. Press 10 biscuit halves on the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form bottom crust. Reserve the other 10 biscuit halves for the top layer.
  • Remove meat mixture from heat, and stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheese, sour cream, and egg; mix well. Spoon over bottom crust. Arrange remaining biscuit halves to form top crust, and spoon remaining cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until biscuits are a deep golden brown color.
