Introduction

This Ground Beef and Biscuit Bake is a hearty and comforting dish perfect for a family dinner. With savory beef, flavorful tomato sauce, and fluffy biscuits topped with melted cheddar, it comes together quickly and satisfies everyone at the table.

The image shows a close-up of a savory dish on a white plate resting on a white marbled surface. The dish has two main layers: a bottom layer of cooked ground meat mixed with diced red bell peppers in a brownish sauce, creating a rich, textured base, and a top layer of golden-brown biscuit topping that looks fluffy and slightly crispy on the edges. Melted yellow cheddar cheese is partly covering the biscuit layer, adding a glossy shine. Small green herb pieces are sprinkled on top, adding a touch of color and freshness. A fork rests on the side of the plate, ready to dig in. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 4: Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Drain any excess fat, then stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6: Transfer the beef mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 7: Separate the biscuit dough and arrange the biscuits on top of the beef mixture.
Step 8: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the biscuits.

Step 9: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 10: Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use whole wheat biscuit dough for a healthier twist without sacrificing texture.

Add a handful of chopped bell peppers with the onions for extra flavor and color.
Swap cheddar for a mix of mozzarella and parmesan for a different cheesy profile.
For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the beef.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through to maintain biscuit texture. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but holds up well for a quick next-day meal.

How to Serve

The dish shows a close-up of a layered meat casserole served on a white plate with a white marbled texture surface. The bottom layer is a thick, dark brown ground beef sauce mixed with diced red tomatoes and some visible herbs, looking juicy and rich. Above that is a thick, golden-brown biscuit layer with a slightly crumbly texture and melted yellow cheese melted on top, with some green herbs sprinkled over for color. The meat sauce is spilling out slightly around the biscuit, showing the moist inside. A shiny fork is placed to the left side of the plate. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
