Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef Filling:
- 1½ lbs ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
For the Topping:
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 box Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
- ¾ cup cold milk
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- In a bowl, prepare the Cheddar Bay biscuit mix with cold milk according to package directions.
- Spoon biscuit dough evenly over the casserole.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush over the hot biscuit topping.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or celery.
- Don’t overmix the biscuit dough—this keeps the topping light and fluffy.
- If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes.
