Cali's Taco Cups

What's that you ask? Cali is a knottie who has been making people happy everywhere giving out this recipe. I have made them for several parties now and they some how always seem to be the topic of conversation. The last party we had, Aaron made sure everyone who came to the party had one and the he wanted every detail of what people thought of them.

He had a few friends in from california last weekend and I swear I thought one of them was going to be found in a corner making out with the delicious little cups. I didn't think he was going to stop eating them.

I usually double the recipe.

1lb. ground beef
1 pckg. taco seasoning
1 pckg. Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
Shredded cheese

Brown and season ground beef like you normally would when making tacos (I just use one of those seasoning packets). Take biscuit dough (I prefer the Grands biscuits because they're larger so you have more dough to work with, but the smaller ones work too -- you just haveto be careful when stretching them out) and use them to line a muffin tin. Fill the dough-lined cups with the taco meat (it'll bea squeeze, but you can fit it all in there). Bake in the oven according to the biscuit directions minus one to two minutes. Sprinkle on cheese and pop back in the oven for an extra minute to melt. Then top with whatever else you want like salsa, guacamole,sour cream, etc. Delicious!
