Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the browned beef and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the frozen vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.
- Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Making the Biscuit Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Gradually add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
Assembling and Baking
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough onto the beef mixture, covering it as evenly as possible.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Finishing Touches
- Remove the casserole from the oven and brush the hot biscuit topping with melted butter. Sprinkle dried parsley over the top for added flavor and garnish.
Serving
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish is perfect on its own or paired with a side salad.
Notes
You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option, or use lentils or a mix of beans for a vegetarian version. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dish reheats well in the oven or microwave. Experiment with different cheese types in the biscuit topping, such as pepper jack or mozzarella.
