→ Baking
13 -
12 refrigerated Pillsbury Grand biscuits
14 -
1 tablespoon butter or margarine for cooking
# Steps:
01 -
Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add butter or margarine. Crumble in the ground beef and cook, stirring often, until no pink remains, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Reduce heat to medium-low and add diced onions. Cook for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
02 -
To the beef and onions, add condensed cheddar cheese soup, ketchup, and mustard. Stir thoroughly until creamy and well combined. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, mixing evenly.
03 -
Mix in half a cup of the bacon bits to infuse the filling with smoky flavor.
04 -
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the combined shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Scatter the remaining quarter cup of bacon bits over the cheese layer.
05 -
Cut each refrigerated biscuit into six pieces. Distribute biscuit chunks evenly over the cheese layer, avoiding clumping to ensure golden, crisp baking.
06 -
Place the assembled dish in a preheated 375°F oven. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until biscuit tops are deeply golden and cheese is bubbling at the edges.
07 -
Remove from oven and let rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Slice and serve warm, allowing the cheesy biscuits to absorb the savory sauce beneath.
# Notes & Tips:
01 -
Drain the cooked beef well to avoid excess grease. Cutting biscuits into smaller pieces ensures even baking and perfect browning. Adding a touch more mustard enhances the authentic cheeseburger tang.
02 -
This casserole freezes well after baking. Thaw completely in the refrigerator before reheating. For best biscuit texture, reheat in a conventional oven rather than microwave.
