Potluck Taco Casserole

(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
2 lb. ground beef
2 envelopes taco seasoning
4 large eggs
3/4 c. 2% milk
1 1/4 c. biscuit/baking mix
Dash pepper
1/2 c. sour cream
2-3 c. chopped lettuce
3/4 c. chopped tomato
1/4 c. chopped green pepper
2 green onions, chopped
2 c. (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat 10-12 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain.  Add taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions.  Spoon meat into a greased 9x13 baking dish.

In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk.  Stir in biscuit mix and pepper.  Pour over meat.  Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Cook 5-10 minutes.

Spread sour cream over top; sprinkle with lettuce, tomato, green pepper, onions and cheese.

Freeze option: Cool baked casserole; cover and freeze (without topping with sour cream, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, onions and cheese).  To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight.  Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Unwrap casserole; reheat on a lower oven rack until heated through and a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 degrees. Cool for 5-10 minutes, then top as directed.
