Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 10.5 oz condensed cheddar soup
  • 10.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Topping and Biscuit Batter

  • 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (dry mix only)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 seasoning packet from Biscuit mix
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for even baking.
  2. Cook Ground Beef and Onions: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and diced onions. Crumble the beef thoroughly and cook until the meat is fully browned and the onions are translucent.
  3. Add Flavorful Mix: Stir in chopped garlic, condensed cheddar soup, condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Add Cheese to Mixture: Fold 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the beef mixture, then remove the skillet from heat to stop cooking.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the beef mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly to create a uniform base.
  6. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef mixture layer.
  7. Make Biscuit Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (dry mix only), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 cups milk. Stir gently until the batter is smooth with no large lumps.
  8. Assemble Cobbler: Pour the biscuit batter evenly over the beef and cheese layers in the baking dish, covering the entire surface.
  9. Bake the Cobbler: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and fully cooked.
  10. Prepare Butter Topping: Mix the melted butter with the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix to create a flavorful butter glaze.
  11. Finish the Cobbler: Remove the dish from the oven and immediately brush the butter and seasoning mixture over the biscuit topping.
  12. Rest and Garnish: Let the cobbler rest for 5 minutes to allow the butter to soak in and the filling to thicken. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley as desired.
  13. Serve: Slice into portions and serve warm for a delicious, comforting meal.

Notes

  • Make sure to brown the ground beef thoroughly to develop rich flavor and avoid any pink spots.
  • The biscuit batter should be spread evenly to ensure uniform baking and texture.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
  • You can garnish with additional cheddar cheese or fresh herbs like thyme or chives instead of parsley.
