Ingredients for Baked Taco Sandwich

  • Ground Beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • Bisquick Baking Mix
  • Cold Water
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Sour cream (for serving)
  • Shredded lettuce (for serving)
  • Chopped Tomato

How to Make Baked Taco Sandwich

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Grease an 8x8x2 inch baking pan.
  3. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, draining off any excess fat. Stir in 1 packet taco seasoning mix according to package directions.
  4. In a separate bowl, prepare your baking mix according to package instructions (using typically 1 cup of baking mix and the required amount of cold water). Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the baking mix batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture over the baking mix layer.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Immediately sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the top.
  9. Let stand for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
