Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C); grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for 5–6 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in drained tomatoes, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Simmer mixture for 3–4 minutes over medium heat to meld flavors. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish; sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.

  5. 5

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and 0.25 tsp salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk to form a soft dough.

  6. 6

    Drop biscuit dough by large spoonfuls over the beef layer, spacing evenly; sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup cheddar cheese on top.

  7. 7

    Bake on the center oven rack for 20–25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The core ingredients are the ground beef and sharp cheddar cheese—together, they deliver the classic savory flavor and melt-in-your-mouth richness that define Beef and Cheddar Biscuit Bake. The biscuit topping adds signature texture and makes this dish hearty.
Q. How do I prevent dry beef or undercooked biscuits?
Brown the beef just until no longer pink and simmer briefly with tomatoes to retain moisture. For the biscuits, make sure dough is just combined and avoid overbaking—remove from the oven when the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Q. What is the nutrition breakdown and how many calories are in each serving?
Each serving (320g) provides approximately 410 kcal, with 27g of carbohydrates (26%), 25g of protein (24%), and 22g of fat (48%), making it a balanced, protein-focused casserole option.
Q. Which ingredient has the biggest impact on flavor?
Sharp cheddar cheese is the standout flavor contributor—its richness pairs perfectly with the savory ground beef, while mild onion and seasoning ensure a comforting taste in every bite.
Q. Can I prepare this casserole ahead for a family dinner?
Absolutely. You can assemble the beef layer and biscuit topping separately in advance, refrigerate both, then add the biscuit mixture just before baking for the best texture and taste.
