Description
Delicious phyllo tart shells stuffed with spiced ground beef and a creamy ranch-cheddar mix, perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bottle (8 oz) ranch dressing
- 5 packages (15 count each) frozen phyllo tart shells
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until there is no pink remaining. Drain any fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and the entire can of diced tomatoes and green chiles. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar and ranch dressing until blended.
- Add the cooked taco meat to the cheese-and-ranch mixture and stir until evenly mixed.
- Spoon the mixture into the frozen phyllo tart shells, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Arrange the filled shells on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes if thawed, or 10–13 minutes if frozen, until the filling is heated through.
- Let cool for 1–2 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease. For a lighter version, swap half the cheddar for part-skim or use Greek yogurt thinned with a little milk instead of some ranch.
