Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 lb lean ground beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain off excess fat from the skillet.
- Add the (1-oz) package taco seasoning, the (10-oz) can enchilada sauce, the (8-oz) can tomato sauce, and 1 cup of the Mexican cheese blend to the beef. Stir until combined.
- Open both (6-oz) cans of refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits total). Cut each biscuit into fourths and add the pieces to the meat mixture. Stir until the biscuit pieces are evenly coated and distributed.
- Spread the biscuit-and-meat mixture evenly into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Mexican cheese blend evenly over the top.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the biscuits are cooked through.
- Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
This recipe is made for the smaller can of biscuits – NOT the bigger Grands biscuits. I used two cans of Pillsbury Flaky Layers Biscuits Buttermilk. It is a 6-oz can of biscuits with 5 biscuits in each can. You will need 10 total biscuits for this recipe.
You can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef in the casserole.
Feel free to add vegetables to the casserole. Black beans, corn, onions, olives, peppers are all good.
Make sure to spread out the biscuits in the pan so they cook evenly. You don’t want big gobs of uncooked biscuits in the casserole.

Can Beef Enchilada Bubble Up be made in advance? Yes. I prefer to cook the meat mixture ahead of time and toss with the biscuits right before baking. I find that the biscuits don’t rise as well if they sit overnight.
Can Beef Enchilada Bubble Up be frozen? Yes. Bake the casserole and cool completely. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze. When ready to serve, thaw and reheat covered in the oven or in the microwave.
