Ingredients
Scale
Meat Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 0.5 cup diced onions
Sauce and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Biscuit and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuits
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure easy food release and prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and diced onions over medium-high heat, breaking the meat into small crumbles until no pink remains, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Drain excess fat from the skillet to reduce greasiness and maintain a clean flavor profile.
- Add ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the meat, stirring thoroughly to create a rich, tangy sauce that coats the beef evenly.
- Simmer the meat mixture for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuits and arrange them in a single layer across the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping to create full coverage.
- Spread the seasoned meat mixture uniformly over the biscuit layer, ensuring complete and even distribution.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously across the top, covering the entire surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to settle and make serving easier.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added freshness before serving.
Notes
- Customize the spice level by adjusting mustard and Worcestershire sauce quantities to suit individual taste preferences.
- Opt for lean ground beef or ground turkey to create a lighter, healthier version of the classic casserole.
- Elevate the dish’s nutrition by incorporating finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or spinach into the meat mixture.
- Prepare the casserole ahead of time by assembling and refrigerating, then bake just before serving for convenient meal planning.
