Taco Puff
Ingredients
Turn stove to medium heat. Add ground beef and onion to medium saucepan and cook until beef is brown. Add in the taco seasoning and turn stove down to low and let simmer. While the meat and seasoning cooks together, start working on the biscuit dough. Roll out each piece of dough to 1/2 thickness and circle size. Once done with the dough, add 1/4 cup of beef to each piece of rolled out dough (leave enough dough pieces to cover ones with meat so that you can pinch the sides to make the puff). Sprinkle cheese on top of meat then add the additional dough pieces and pinch edges closed. Bake taco puff at 375 degrees fareheit for 12-15 minutes.
