Create it!!

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. In a large pan on medium-high heat, stir together ground beef, chili beans, taco seasoning, mix and water; mix well. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.

3. Spray outside bottom and sides of 8 (6 oz.) custard cups lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Roll or pat each biscuits to form 4 ½ in. rounds. Place rounds over the outside of the sprayed custard cups. Press to fit over the bottom and part way down the sides of the cups. Place cups, upside down, in large ungreased baking pan.

4. Bake for 14 – 16 minutes or until golden brown. Remove pan from oven; carefully remove biscuits cups from custard cups.

5. Spoon beef mixture evenly into each cup. Top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and salsa. Makes 8 taco cups.
