Bubble-Up Taco Bake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
4 tablespoons taco seasoning, divided
1/4 cup water
1 cup salsa
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
1 (16 1/3 ounce) can refrigerated biscuits
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

In a medium skillet, brown hamburger and chopped onion.
While the meat is cooking, combine 2 T of the taco seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder and basil in a 1 quart plastic storage bag.
Shake to mix well.
Cut the biscuits into quarters.
Drop the biscuit quarters, a handful at a time, into the bag and shake to coat evenly.
As the biscuit quarters are coated, layer them in the bottom of a greased 2 qt baking dish, and set aside.
Drain grease from meat mixture, then return to skillet and add 2 T of the taco seasoning, any leftover seasoning mixture from coating the biscuits, and the water; cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in salsa and black beans.
Carefully spread the mixture over the biscuit pieces in the casserole dish. Bake 20 minutes; remove from oven and cover with the shredded cheese.
Return to oven and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
