Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the taco seasoning until fully cooked throughout; drain any fats that accumulate, then stir in the salsa.
Use your kitchen shears or a knife to cut each biscuit into 8 pieces, then place half of these biscuit pieces into a greased 9x13 baking dish in a single layer across the bottom.
Top the layer of biscuits with half of the prepared meat mixture, half of the peppers and onions, and then half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with the cheese on top. (If using green onions, sprinkle these over the top of the cheese as part of the last layer.)
Loosely cover the baking dish with foil. Bake the casserole on the center oven rack for 30-35 minutes; remove the foil and continue to bake for 15 additional minutes.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes then cut into squares. Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve.
