Missionaries and Taco Ramkins


Last night we had the Missionaries over for dinner. It was kind of last minute notice and lucky for them we were planning on having Taco Ramekins. I love this dish because it is so fun to serve. This recipe comes from TASTE OF HOME! I use a lot of their recipes because 90% of them turn out wonderful and quickly become family favorites. This recipe comes from the cooking for 2 section, so it will need to be doubled or played with until you have enough for your family. Here it is:
1/4 pound ground beef
1/4 t. chili powder
1/8 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
3/4 cup biscuit/baking mix
3 T cold water or milk
1 medium tomato, sliced
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 T sour cream
2 T miracle whip or mayo (which ever you prefer)
2 T shredded cheddar cheese
1 T chopped onion (I use dried onions)

In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the chili powder, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Combine biscuit mix and water to form a soft dough. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of two 10oz ramekins or custard cups coated with cooking spray. Fill with meat mixture; top with tomato and green pepper. Combine the sour cream, miracle whip, cheese and onion; spread evenly over top.
Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.

Perrin was very entertaining to our Missionary guests. He is the king of wonderfully awkward moments. He tried to convince the Elders that he can speak Greek and that he is an authority on the subject of Greece. He knows how to say a few phrases he learned from a book so I am fairly sure he does not know how to say them properly. It was nice to sit back and let Perrin be Perrin and know that those two young men would be kind and tolerant to my little boy. I am sure he had a blast and the Missionaries had lots to talk about after they left.
