Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ground beef (80–90% lean) | 1 lb |
| Refrigerated biscuit dough | 1 can (10–16 oz) |
| Condensed cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup | 1 can (10½ oz) |
| Salt and black pepper | To taste |
Instructions
1. Heat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish and set it aside.
2. Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
3. Create the Sauce
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir the condensed soup directly into the cooked beef (do not dilute). Let it warm through and gently bubble for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble the Bake
Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
5. Add the Biscuit Topping
Separate the biscuits and place them over the beef in a single layer. Gaps are fine—the biscuits will expand as they bake.
6. Bake
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, until the biscuits are puffed, golden brown, and the filling is bubbling along the edges.
7. Rest and Serve
Let the bake sit for about 5 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly. Spoon into bowls and enjoy warm.
✨ Result: A no-fuss, hearty casserole with fluffy biscuits and savory beef—perfect comfort food with minimal effort.
