Cheesy Taco Muffins - perfect game day food. So easy to make and they taste fantastic. Ground beef, taco seasoning, Rotel diced tomatoes and green chiles, cheese soup, Bisquick, cheddar cheese, and buttermilk. Bake in mini muffin pans. I took the whole batch to our tailgate and only had a few leftover, and they reheated well for breakfast the next morning. #gameday #appetizer #mexican #taco #muffins #partyfood #beef
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly spray mini muffin pans with cooking spray.
Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain fat. Add taco seasoning, water, and diced tomatoes and green chiles. Simmer for 5 minutes. Cool slightly.
Combine taco meat, baking mix, and shredded cheese in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Stir together the soup and buttermilk; add to taco meat mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Scoop batter into mini muffin pans.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned.
Notes:
Can use ground beef or ground turkey.
I find the Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup at Target.
If you can't find Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup, you can substitute Cheddar Cheese Soup.
Buttermilk substitute - 1 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to make one cup. Let sit 5 minutes before using.
You can use mild, regular, or hot Rotel diced tomatoes & green chiles.
Here is our recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning made with chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper: https://www.plainchicken.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/
Can use any cheese you prefer in place of cheddar cheese.
Can make regular sized muffins. You will need to increase the baking time.
You can make the muffins in advance and reheat when ready to serve. To reheat, cover in foil and bake at 350ºF for 20 to 30 minutes.
