Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 c white sweet onion, diced
1 lb lean ground beef, or turkey
1 pkg taco seasoning mix,(1.25 oz.)
2/3 c water
4 c bisquick baking mix
1/2 c bean liquid +water to make 1/2 cup liquid
15 oz can black beans or other beans,drained, reserve liquid
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
toppings: sour cream-diced tomatoes, onion, salsa, guacamole

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375^. Spray 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.Set aside.
2. Brown beef or turkey in a hot skillet and drain any fat. Add the taco seasoning mix and 2/3 cup water; simmer for 4 minutes. Set aside. In a medium bowl mix the bisquick and 1/2 cup liquid until blended. The mixture will be thick like pizza dough.
3. Press 1 to 2 Tablespoons of dough into bottom of each muffin cup and press slightly up sides. Spoon an equal amount of meat mixture in each cup then your choice of beans ( I like to use pinto beans or refried beans) equally in each.
4. Bake for 8 minutes and remove from oven. Sprinkle cheese equally among the cups and continue to bake for 2 more minutes or until cheese has melted. Remove from muffin tin after 3 minutes and garnish with your favorite toppings.
