Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef or substitute with ground turkey
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 12 oz can Pillsbury biscuits (Grands Jr’s preferred), cut into quarters
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Cook the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or turkey) until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  3. Make the sauce: Stir in ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Mix in biscuits: Transfer the meat mixture to a large bowl. Add the quartered biscuit pieces and gently toss to coat them evenly.
  5. Assemble the casserole: Spread the biscuit-meat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Top with cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve hot: Let cool slightly before serving, then dig into this cheesy, bubbly goodness!

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the biscuits: Gently folding the biscuit pieces prevents them from becoming soggy or tearing.
  • Add veggies: You can sneak in finely chopped bell peppers or onions while cooking the beef for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Spice it up: A dash of chili powder or hot sauce in the sauce mixture adds a flavorful kick if you like heat.
  • Freezer tip: Assemble the casserole ahead and freeze unbaked. Thaw overnight in the fridge and bake as directed.
