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