Description
A comforting and hearty Cheesy Biscuit Beef Bake that combines savory ground beef, gooey cheese, and buttery biscuits, perfect for a family-friendly meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for flavor and moisture)
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuits
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles. Add the crushed garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
- Add Italian Seasoning: Stir in the Italian seasoning, mixing well. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
- Prepare the Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Set aside.
- Assemble the Bake: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the cooked beef mixture evenly along the bottom. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese over the beef, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Top with Biscuits: Arrange the biscuit quarters on top of the cheese in a single, even layer.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- For added nutrition, mix in vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach into the beef mixture.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeño to the beef mixture.
- Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner alternative to ground beef.
- For an extra cheesy finish, top the biscuits with more cheese before baking.
