Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits Recipe
Introduction
Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits are a deliciously easy meal that combines savory ground beef, melted cheddar, and fluffy baked biscuits. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or casual gathering, this dish brings all the flavors of a cheeseburger in a comforting, handheld form.

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (8 count) tube Pillsbury biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, chopped
- Seasoning to taste (Montreal Steak seasoning recommended)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease a glass or ceramic baking dish (7×9 or 9×11 inches works well).
- Step 2: Separate the biscuits in half. Place the bottom halves evenly in the dish and set the top halves aside. Bake the bottom halves for about 5 minutes to help prevent sogginess.
- Step 3: While the biscuit bottoms bake, heat a little oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Step 4: Add the ground beef to the pan with the onions, chop it up, and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Step 5: Season the beef mixture with Montreal Steak seasoning or your preferred spices.
- Step 6: Remove the biscuit bottoms from the oven. Spread the seasoned beef mixture evenly over them, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Step 7: Place the reserved biscuit tops over the cheese layer.
- Step 8: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the biscuit tops are golden brown.
- Step 9: Serve hot, optionally with your favorite cheeseburger condiments and toppings.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, mix diced pickles or cooked bacon into the beef mixture before layering.
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different cheese twist.
- Use gluten-free biscuits if you need a gluten-free version.
- Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef for enhanced savory depth.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350° F until warmed through to keep biscuits flaky. Avoid microwaving as it may make the biscuits soggy.

Ingredients
Meat and Veggies
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
Dough and Cheese
- 1 (8 count) tube Pillsbury biscuits
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings
- Seasoning to taste (such as Montreal Steak seasoning)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder (optional)
- Oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350° F. Grease a glass or ceramic baking dish, such as a 7×9 or 9×11 inch dish, to prevent sticking.
- Start baking biscuit bottoms: Separate each biscuit in half horizontally. Place all the bottom halves evenly in the greased baking dish. Bake for about 5 minutes to partially cook them and prevent sogginess.
- Sauté onions: While the biscuit bottoms bake, heat a small amount of oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Cook ground beef: Add the ground beef to the pan with the onions. Chop and brown thoroughly. Once cooked, drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Season beef mixture: Season the browned beef and onion mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Montreal Steak seasoning or your preferred seasonings. Stir well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Assemble casserole: Remove the biscuit bottoms from the oven. Evenly spread the seasoned ground beef mixture over the partially baked biscuit layer. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef layer, then place the reserved uncooked biscuit tops directly over the cheese.
- Bake until golden: Return the assembled dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it on its own or with your favorite cheeseburger condiments and toppings.
Notes
- Partially baking the biscuit bottoms helps prevent sogginess by giving them a head start before adding moist ingredients.
- You can customize seasonings to your taste; Montreal Steak seasoning adds a savory and slightly smoky flavor.
- Drain excess grease from the cooked beef to avoid a greasy casserole.
- For crispier biscuit tops, you can brush them lightly with melted butter before baking.
- This recipe can be doubled to fit a larger baking dish for more servings.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
