This casserole transforms refrigerated biscuit dough into soft, doughy “bubbles” nestled in a flavorful taco meat sauce, all topped with plenty of melted cheese.

Yields: 6-8 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken)
  • 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
  • 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup (or Cheddar Cheese soup for extra cheesiness)
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), undrained or 1 cup of your favorite salsa
  • 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count), cut into quarters
  • 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
  • Optional Toppings for Serving:
    • Shredded lettuce
    • Diced tomatoes
    • Sliced olives
    • Sour cream
    • Sliced jalapeños
    • Chopped cilantro
    • Diced avocado

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Brown the Meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Make the Sauce: Return the meat to the skillet. Add the taco seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and the undrained can of Rotel (or salsa). Stir until everything is well combined and heated through. Remove from heat.
  4. Combine with Biscuits: Gently stir the quartered biscuit dough pieces into the meat sauce until they are evenly coated.
  5. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake: Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit “bubbles” are cooked through and golden brown on top. You can check by pulling apart a center biscuit piece to ensure it’s no longer doughy.
  8. Final Cheese Topping: Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt from the residual heat and for the casserole to set slightly.
  9. Serve: Serve hot directly from the dish, and let everyone add their favorite fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.

Tips for the Best Bubble Up Casserole

  • Don’t Overmix: When you stir the biscuit pieces into the sauce, be gentle. Overmixing can cause the dough to break down too much.
  • Check for Doneness: The most common issue is the center bisc
