Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 ounces (340 grams) biscuits, cut into quarters
Seasonings and Sauces:
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) ketchup
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) water
- 3 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F (177°C) and thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch (23×33 centimeters) baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place ground beef in a skillet over medium heat and cook thoroughly, breaking into small crumbles until no pink remains, then carefully drain excess fat.
- Incorporate ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt into the cooked beef, allowing the mixture to simmer and develop rich flavors for approximately 5 minutes.
- Transfer the seasoned beef mixture to a medium-sized mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
- Cut refrigerated biscuits into quarters, then gently fold these pieces into the beef mixture, ensuring each biscuit segment is evenly coated.
- Distribute the biscuit and beef combination uniformly across the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the entire surface, covering the casserole completely.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving hot.
Notes
- Maximize flavor by simmering the beef with a tangy blend of ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce for a rich, caramelized taste.
- Ensure even cooking by thoroughly mixing quartered biscuits with the seasoned meat before spreading in the baking pan.
- Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese generously on top for a melty, golden-brown crust that adds extra indulgence to the casserole.
- Save time with this one-pan meal that combines protein, carbs, and cheese in a comforting, family-friendly dish.
- Quick tip: Drain excess fat from beef to prevent a greasy texture and maintain the casserole’s appetizing consistency.
- Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and the biscuits are warm for the best dining experience.
