Cheesy Taco Buns

- 1 pound ground hamburger
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 8 oz. package cream cheese
- 4 Tbsp. melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a skillet, brown ground hamburger; drain any excess fat from meat. Add taco seasoning and prepare as stated on the packet.
In a medium bowl, add cream cheese and salsa, blend with mixer until smooth; set aside. Separate each biscuit and roll so they are flat and somewhat thin. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on to the biscuit and a good spoonful of taco meat on top of cream cheese; top with shredded cheese.
Pull dough and pinch to make a pocket and place seal side down on a greased cookie sheet; repeat until all biscuits are used. Brush each biscuit with butter. Bake for 13-16 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
