Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Topping

  • 16 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready when the casserole assembly is complete.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes. This step builds the flavor base for the beef mixture.
  3. Cook ground beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Brown the meat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, for about 5 minutes until no pink remains.
  4. Simmer the sauce: Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in 1 can of tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Assemble the bake: Transfer the beef mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly for a uniform base layer.
  6. Add biscuit topping: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual biscuits and arrange them evenly on top of the beef layer.
  7. Add cheese: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the biscuit layer to create a delicious, melty topping.
  8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  9. Rest and serve: Allow the bake to stand for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the casserole set and makes serving easier.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding some chopped bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture during cooking.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the oregano.
  • You can swap cheddar for mozzarella or a blend of cheeses depending on your preference.
  • Make sure to drain excess fat thoroughly to avoid a greasy bake.
  • Refrigerated biscuit dough can vary in size, so adjust baking time slightly if biscuits are larger or smaller.
