1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 13×9 inch baking dish and line it with one 16-ounce can of large biscuits pressed together, then bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. This step creates a sturdy base that holds the toppings well. While the biscuits bake, prepare your other ingredients to keep things moving smoothly.

2-Second, in a large mixing bowl, combine the browned ground beef with the taco seasoning and water as per the packet instructions. For added depth, sauté 1 medium halved and sliced onion and 1 medium halved and sliced red bell pepper until soft, then mix in half of the sliced onions with ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup mayonnaise, and half of 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese to make the sour cream mixture. This ensures even seasoning throughout.

3-Third, once the biscuit base is ready, layer on the taco meat, followed by 2 medium sliced tomatoes, the sautéed onion and red bell pepper mixture, and 4 ounces of canned sliced jalapeno peppers. Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top for a creamy layer that ties everything together.

4-Fourth, sprinkle the remaining half of the 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 30-40 minutes until the biscuit edges are lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
