Cheesy Taco Casserole

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds of ground beef
1 packet of taco seasoning
4 eggs
3/4 cup of whole milk
1 3/4 cups of cookie or bisquick mix
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups lettuce, chopped or shredded
1 cup tomato, finely chopped
2 cups strong cheddar cheese, grated
Black olives, sliced, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

PREPARATION

Preheat the oven to 400º F and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk until blended, then stir in the cookie mixture, along with salt and pepper, if necessary. Set aside.
Season beef with salt and pepper and cook until golden. Drain off the fat and stir in the taco seasoning.
Place beef in an even layer in a greased baking dish and spread cookie dough evenly over the beef.
Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake until the cookie layer is golden brown, 22-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool, then spread sour cream over the cookies.
Top with lettuce, tomatoes and chopped olives, if necessary, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Serve hot and enjoy!
