Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon pickle relish (optional)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (10.2 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, ketchup, mustard, and pickle relish (if using). Cook for 2 minutes, stirring well to combine the flavors. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Mix in both the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses into the beef mixture until they are evenly distributed.
Spoon the entire beef and cheese mixture evenly into the prepared 9-inch pie dish. Spread it out to form the base layer of your cheeseburger bake recipe.
Open the can of biscuit dough. Separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds.
Arrange the biscuit halves over the top of the meat mixture in the pie dish, overlapping them slightly to cover the filling completely. This creates your biscuit topped casserole.
Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is puffed up and golden brown.
Let the savory pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving this easy weeknight meal southern cooking style.
Notes
For an extra Southern touch, you can add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture for depth of flavor.
Serve slices with extra pickles or a drizzle of your favorite secret sauce.
This recipe works well as a homemade cheeseburger casserole when you are short on time.
