How to Make Monie's Taco Puffs

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Season the cooked beef with 1 packet taco seasoning (or 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and salt/pepper to taste).
  3. If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water until it's moist but not runny.
  4. Gently flatten 8 refrigerated biscuits to approximately 6 inches in diameter.
  5. Place about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese onto one half of each flattened biscuit.
  6. Fold the other half of the biscuit over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  7. Place the puffs onto a baking sheet and bake according to the biscuit package instructions (usually 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown).
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
