Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn
- 1 tsp chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your Bubble Up Enchilada Bake cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
- Add the chili powder to the cooked ground beef and stir well to combine, allowing the spices to infuse the meat with flavor. Cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the can of enchilada sauce, black beans, and corn into the skillet with the seasoned beef. Stir everything together until well mixed and heated through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. This will create bite-sized pieces that will bubble up as they bake.
- In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the beef and bean mixture evenly across the bottom.
- Scatter the quartered biscuit pieces over the beef mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the biscuit pieces, ensuring an even layer to achieve a nice cheesy crust.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the dish set a bit.
- Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings such as sour cream, chopped cilantro, or sliced jalapeños, if desired. Enjoy your delicious Bubble Up Enchilada Bake!
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider using ground turkey or a plant-based meat alternative instead of beef.
- Drain your black beans and corn thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the dish.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting consistency and flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish - spread biscuit pieces evenly for optimal "bubbling".
- Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow it to set and make serving easier.
- Customize your toppings with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, or a dollop of sour cream.
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or use a hot enchilada sauce.
