This easy ground beef casserole uses canned biscuits for a quick, comforting topping for a savory beef filling. It is a simple, family-friendly baked dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas and carrots)
  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stir the soup mixture and the frozen vegetables into the ground beef and onion mixture until combined.
  6. Pour the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Separate the biscuit dough. Cut each biscuit in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds. Arrange the biscuit halves over the top of the beef mixture, slightly overlapping them if needed.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. If using cheese, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the biscuits during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  10. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery soup.
  • You can use refrigerated crescent roll dough instead of biscuits for a slightly different texture on top.
  • If you want a one pot ground beef casserole, you can mix the filling ingredients in a Dutch oven and then transfer to the baking dish.
