About
Do you ever get strangely, overly attached to something? Okay, yeah, we don't do that either. Just kidding! We're over the moon in love with this Love-Runs-Deep Taco Bake! We can't get enough of these Tex-Mex ingredients that we're unconditionally enthralled with, like ground beef, juicy veggies, and melty cheese. What drives us wild is how they're all sitting atop a buttery, crumbly crust, if you will, that soaks up all the flavors in the best way! Love-Runs-Deep Taco Bake will have you doing things you never thought you'd do... like cooking it up every night!

Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 -Coat an 8x8-inch pan with cooking spray.
Step 3 -In a large nonstick pan, cook the beef, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink.
Step 4 -Add the onion and 1 of the chopped jalapeños to the beef and cook until soft.
Step 5 -Add the green chiles and their juices, the taco seasoning, and 1/4 cup of the water to the beef mixture and cook about 1 minute. Then, transfer the skillet from the heat.
Step 6 -In a medium bowl, stir the sour cream, the mayonnaise, and the cheddar cheese together. Set it aside.
Step 7 -In another medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix and the remaining water and stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 8 -Add the dough to the prepared pan and pat it down, spreading it out so that it covers the bottom and extends up the sides a little.
Step 9 -Pour the beef mixture over the dough, then top with the tomatoes and the sour cream mixture. Sprinkle with the paprika.
Step 10 -Bake the taco bake until the dough is golden and the filling is heated through, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 11 -Cut the bake into squares.
Step 12 -Serve the bake topped with the sliced avocado, the shredded lettuce, and the sliced jalapeños.
