Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 10.5 ounces condensed cheddar soup
  • 10.5 ounces condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with seasoning packet
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for biscuit topping)
  • 2 cups milk (for biscuit batter)
  • 0.25 cup butter, melted
  • fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Equipment

  • large nonstick skillet
  • Mixing bowls
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Oven
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow to preheat fully.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the beef as it cooks. Sauté until beef is browned and onions are softened, about 7–8 minutes.
  3. Stir in chopped garlic, cheddar soup, cream of mushroom soup, 0.5 cup milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and fully blended. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
  4. Lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread beef mixture evenly in the dish and top with remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Empty Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix into a large bowl (reserve seasoning packet). Add 1 cup shredded cheddar and 2 cups milk; stir until batter is smooth and lump-free.
  6. Pour the biscuit batter evenly over the beef layer. Bake for 50–55 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and fully baked through.
  7. Mix melted butter with the reserved Cheddar Bay Biscuit seasoning packet until combined.
  8. Remove casserole from the oven and immediately brush the hot biscuit topping with the butter-seasoning mixture. Let stand 5 minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne or Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. You can substitute ground turkey for a lighter option. Serve with a side salad or steamed green beans for a complete meal.
