\"\u200d\"\u00a0Step-by-Step Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Get the Oven and Beef Ready<\/strong>
\nPreheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).
\nLightly grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish.
\nIn a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain off any extra grease.<\/p>\n

2. Add Seasonings and Extras<\/strong>
\nMix in the taco seasoning and water, and let simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
\nStir in the drained Rotel and optional onions. Let it cook another 2\u20133 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

3. Make the Biscuit Crust<\/strong>
\nTake the biscuit dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Overlap as needed to cover the entire base.<\/p>\n

4. Assemble the Layers<\/strong>
\nSpread the seasoned beef mixture over the biscuit layer.
\nIn a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar. Spread this creamy mix over the beef.
\nTop everything with the remaining cheddar cheese.<\/p>\n

5. Bake It Up<\/strong>
\nPlace the dish in the oven and bake for 25\u201330 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the biscuit layer is cooked through.
\nLet the casserole rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
