Mexican Biscuit Casserole

I found this recipe in Midwest Living Magazine years ago and it has been a family favorite ever since. It's great warmed up in the microwave the next day, too! Note: I often times just use the Bisquick box recipe for biscuits and make a dozen to spread evenly over the casserole. I also have fun cutting them in different shapes on occasion.
