Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1/2 cup water
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

Preheat the oven to 375F.
Cook the ground beef in a large skillet until browned; drain off the excess fat.
Season the meat with the salt and pepper; set aside.
Mix together the cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and onion; set this mixture aside.
Stir the biscuit mix and water together until a soft dough forms.
With floured fingers, pat the dough into the bottom of a greased 13 X 9 X 2-inch baking pan, pressing the dough about 1/2-inch up the sides of the pan.
Layer the browned ground beef, tomato slices, green pepper, and sliced olives over the dough layer.
