Description

Make a hearty, comforting dinner by topping a savory ground beef and vegetable filling with homemade, cheesy Cheddar Bay Biscuits.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Biscuits:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter, mixed with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (for brushing)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and carrots to the skillet. Cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the frozen peas, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  5. Pour the ground beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Prepare the biscuit topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  7. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently until just combined; do not overmix the dough.
  10. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the top of the ground beef filling, spacing them out to cover most of the surface.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the biscuits.
  12. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through and the filling is bubbly.
  13. While the biscuits are hot, brush the tops with the melted butter mixture seasoned with garlic powder and parsley.
  14. Let the cobbler rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom soup if you prefer.
  • For a richer flavor in the filling, add 1/2 cup of frozen mixed vegetables instead of just peas.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, mix 3/4 cup of regular milk with 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
