Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef and 1 large diced onion. Cook until the meat is fully browned and the onions are soft.

3. Turn the heat down to low. Add and stir in taco seasoning, ¼ cup water, 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with their juices), chopped green chilies, and 1 can of pinto beans (rinsed and drained). Let the mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.

4. While meat mixture is simmering, in a medium bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, light mayo, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.

5. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the beef mixture into the bottom of your prepared 9x13 glass baking dish and spread it into an even layer.

6. Spread the cheese mixture smoothly and evenly directly over the warm beef and bean filling.

7. In a separate bowl, combine Heart Smart Bisquick, dried parsley, granulated garlic and chili powder.

8. Stir in almond milk and ½ cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

9. Drop the biscuit dough by spoonfuls evenly across the top of the yogurt layer. Gently press it out with a spatula.

10. Bake uncovered in preheated oven at 375°F for 25–30 minutes or until the biscuit top is fluffy, completely cooked through, and golden-brown, and the meat layer is bubbling around the edges.

11. Enjoy!
