INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can corn kernels, drained
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
• 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chilies
• 1 (1-ounce) package taco seasoning mix
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
• 2 cups Colby-Jack cheese blend, shredded, divided
• 1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef, while crumbling, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess grease.
• Return the beef to the skillet and stir in the kidney beans, the corn, the fire-roasted tomatoes and their juices, the green chiles and their juices, the taco seasoning mix, and the chili powder. Cook the beef-veggie mixture until simmering. Stir the cream cheese into the beef-veggie mixture until melted. Transfer the beef-veggie mixture from the heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese.
• Pour the beef-veggie mixture into the prepared baking dish. Separate the dough into 8 biscuits and cut each biscuit into 6 pieces. Place the biscuit pieces over the beef-veggie mixture. Brush the biscuit pieces with the melted butter.
• Sprinkle the casserole with the remaining cheese. Bake the casserole until the biscuits are golden-brown and baked through, about 20-25 minutes. Serve.
