Taco fiesta bubble up casserole

Filed Under: Cooking with canning Tagged With: Beef, Salsa

A delicious, quick casserole you can make almost entirely from your dry storage.

We did add, though, fresh chopped bell pepper and green onion for some crunch.

This recipe uses:

  • Home-canned ground beef
  • Home-canned mushrooms (optional)
  • Home-canned salsa (we used the Tomatillo Green Salsa from So Easy To Preserve)
  • DIY Taco Seasoning
  • DIY Biscuit Mix

  • 350 g DIY Biscuit Mix (2 cups / 12 oz)

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Start oven heating to 175 C / 350 F.
  • Lightly spray or grease a casserole dish that is 22 x 33 cm (9 x 13 inch); set aside.
  • Empty jar of ground beef into a microwave-safe vessel. If using home-canned mushrooms (optional), open their jar and add them, too. Zap in microwave for a minute or two to heat. Remove, drain through a sieve for a minute or two.
  • When beef is drained, stir in the taco seasoning and the salsa. Set aside.
  • Wash peppers and onion (seed peppers; peel onion.) Chop, and set aside, combined.
  • Wash and chop green onion. Set aside separately.
  • Mix up DIY biscuit mix according to directions for that mix.
  • Place half the prepared biscuit dough in scattered dollops over the bottom of the casserole dish.
  • Scatter with half the meat mixture, half the pepper mixture, and half the cheese.
  • Repeat for second layer.
  • Scatter the green onion on top.
  • Cover with tin foil and put in oven for 35 minutes.
  • Remove foil, return to oven for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, let stand 5 minutes.
  • Garnish servings with fat-free sour cream (optional.)

Recipe notes

  • Feel free to swap the fresh bell pepper, fresh onion and green onion for any other toppings / veg that strike your fancy or that you have easily on hand. Dehydrated onion that has been rehydrated might work.
  • You could add some hotter peppers if desired.
  • We used green salsa; a red salsa would also work.
  • We used low-fat cheese; if you don’t care about calories, use any melting cheese you have that you can grate (e.g. cheddar, Colby, Swiss, Monterey Jack, etc.)
  • Instead of home-canned ground beef, you could use 500 g / 1 lb fresh ground beef. Brown it first with the taco seasoning, then drain grease off and proceed with recipe.
  • There can be a lot of water trapped in home-canned ground beef; warming it a bit first causes the trapped water to release itself.
  • What to serve with this? Leafy salad works great! You could also do rice.

Quote of the day

“…spoilage isn’t necessary when canning is no longer a matter of hit-and-miss luck, but a careful science, and when every home canner can have help from reliable sources.”
