Ingredients:
Beef Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for thickening)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping
- 2 cups biscuit baking mix
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Garlic Butter Finish
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Beef Filling
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Mix in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well.
Pour in beef broth and simmer for 4–5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in frozen mixed vegetables and cook another 2–3 minutes.
Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. Make the Biscuit Topping
In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and milk. Stir just until combined — do not overmix.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the beef filling.
3. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add the Garlic Butter Finish
Mix melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush generously over the warm biscuit topping right after baking.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve hot with a crisp green salad.
- Add extra shredded cheese on top before baking for an even cheesier finish.
- For a spicy kick, mix a pinch of crushed red pepper into the beef filling.
