Ingredients
Scale
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.
