Sunday Funday with the Faircloughs: Week 2 - Oven Tacos + Breakfast!!!!!

Week 2 of Football and the Fairclough's have been very busy!!! For this week I will be sharing 2 recipes - Oven Tacos PLUS Bacon and Cheese Pull Apart Biscuits

I found both recipes on pinterest, of course!! They really have some great recipes and I'll be using a bunch this football season.

Oven Tacos

The actual recipe can be found here - http://mommyimhungry.blogspot.com/2012/11/oven-tacos.html

Here is what I did:

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef (or turkey/chicken)
1/2 packet taco seasoning
Enough tomato sauce to cover the meat
Shredded cheddar cheese
10 hard taco shells

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large skillet brown ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess liquid. Return to pan, add tomato sauce, and taco seasoning. Mix well and cook for a few minutes if mixture seems runny.

Spoon the taco meat mixture into the taco shells and place into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish standing up. Sprinkle cheese over the top of the taco meat in each shell. Place into the oven and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tacos are heated through.

Remove from the oven and top with any optional condiments for serving. We used lettuce.

Making the tacos this way helped so that the ingredients didn't fall out of the tacos - we always have this problem, so that is definitely helpful and they were YUMMY!

Bacon, Cheese Biscuits - http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/bacon-cheese-pull-aparts-recipe/

Ingredients:

1 egg
2 tbsp milk
1 16.3 oz Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Refrigerated Original Biscuits
1 pkg precooked bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 11x7- or 12x8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat egg and milk with wire whisk until smooth.

Separate dough into 8 biscuits; cut each into quarters. Gently stir biscuit pieces into egg mixture to coat evenly. Fold in bacon, cheese and onions. Spoon mixture into sprayed dish; arrange biscuit pieces in single layer.
