Ingredients
For the Beef Mixture:

1 yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
10.5 oz condensed cheddar soup
10.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
For the Biscuit Topping:
1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
¼ cup butter, melted
For Garnish:
Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ground Beef Mixture
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef. Brown the beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, add diced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2: Add Soups and Milk
-
Add the cheddar soup, cream of mushroom soup, and milk to the skillet. Stir well, season with salt and pepper, and continue stirring until fully combined. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
Step 3: Add Shredded Cheddar Cheese
-
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cook until melted and well incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4: Prepare the Biscuit Topping
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Assemble the Casserole
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Pour the creamy ground beef mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the biscuit batter, smoothing it out over the beef mixture.
Step 6: Bake the Casserole
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 7: Prepare the Butter Mixture
-
While the casserole is baking, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the seasoning packet from the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix to the butter and stir until well combined.
Step 8: Add the Butter Topping
-
Once the casserole is out of the oven, brush the butter mixture over the biscuit topping. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the butter to soak in.
Step 9: Garnish and Serve
-
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy this hearty, cheesy casserole!
