Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 1 ½ pounds (680 grams) ground beef

Vegetables:

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Sauce and Seasoning:

  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Baking Ingredients:

  • 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
  • 2 cups (200 grams) shredded cheddar cheese

Garnish:

  • ¼ cup (15 grams) chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to ensure proper temperature for baking the casserole.
  2. Brown ground beef in a large skillet, breaking it into small crumbles while cooking over medium-high heat.
  3. Drain excess fat from the meat and return to the pan.
  4. Incorporate ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard into the ground beef, stirring thoroughly to create a rich, tangy mixture.
  5. Simmer the beef mixture for 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and sauce to slightly thicken.
  6. Separate refrigerated biscuit dough into individual pieces.
  7. Layer half of the biscuit dough sections across the bottom of a greased baking dish, creating a uniform base.
  8. Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the biscuit layer.
  9. Sprinkle shredded cheese across the meat to create a melty topping.
  10. Arrange the remaining biscuit dough pieces on top of the cheese, creating a complete coverage.
  11. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and crispy.
  12. Remove from oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.

Notes

  • Customize biscuit dough by using whole wheat or gluten-free options for dietary needs.
  • Layer ingredients carefully to ensure even distribution of meat and biscuit topping for balanced flavor in every bite.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate assembled casserole for up to 24 hours before baking, which helps develop deeper flavors and saves time during busy weeknights.
  • Enhance protein content by adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the ground beef mixture for extra nutrition and texture.
