Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like how simple this meal is to make, and it always hits the spot. The ingredients are cheap and easy to find, the prep is fast, and the result feels like I put in way more effort than I actually did. It’s perfect when I’m feeding picky eaters or just craving something cheesy and savory. I also like that it’s easy to customize depending on what I have on hand.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 pound ground beef
1 (8 count) tube Pillsbury biscuits
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 small onion (chopped)
seasoning to taste (I usually go for Montreal Steak seasoning, salt, pepper, or garlic powder)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 7×9 or 9×11 baking dish.
Split the biscuits in half and press the bottom halves into the baking dish. Bake them for about 5 minutes to help them cook through better later.
While those are baking, heat a little oil in a skillet and sauté the chopped onion over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until fully browned. Drain the grease and season the beef mixture to taste.
Take the dish out of the oven and spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the biscuits.
Sprinkle shredded cheese all over the beef layer.
Place the remaining biscuit halves on top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top biscuits are golden and cooked through.
Let it cool a bit, then serve with any burger toppings I like—ketchup, mustard, pickles, or just plain.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 8 biscuit portions. I find that it serves about 4 people, depending on appetites.

Variations

I like switching things up depending on what’s in my fridge:

Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
Try different cheeses like mozzarella or a spicy pepper cheese for a twist.
Add a small amount of chopped pickles or jalapeños to the beef mixture for extra flavor.
Serve with shredded lettuce or tomato slices on the side to make it feel more like a classic burger.

Storage/Reheating

I keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
To reheat, I use the microwave for about 1–2 minutes per serving. If I want the tops of the biscuits to crisp up again, I reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

FAQs

Can I make this without onions?

Yes, I’ve skipped the onion plenty of times and it still turns out great. The onion just adds extra flavor if I want it.

What kind of cheese melts best in this recipe?

I usually stick with shredded cheddar, but colby jack or a cheese blend works just as well.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

I can make the beef mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. When I’m ready, I assemble and bake it fresh.

Do I need to pre-bake the bottom biscuits?

Yes, baking the bottom halves for a few minutes helps keep them from getting soggy once the beef is added.

Can I use different biscuit dough?

I prefer regular homestyle biscuits because they’re easy to split. Flaky layers work too but can be trickier to handle.
