Throw in the raw biscuit dough in casserole. The topping makes for the best dinner ever

There’s nothing quite like the comfort of tangy BBQ and buttery biscuits to bring a little zest to your weeknight dinners. Our BBQ Beef and Biscuit Casserole is a delightful mash-up that’s bound to become a family favorite. The combination of hearty beef and flaky biscuits provides a wholesome meal that's both satisfying and easy to make, perfect for those busy evenings when time is of the essence but you still crave something homemade.

This casserole is pretty hearty on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a simple side salad to add a splash of freshness. Consider tossing mixed greens with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a vinaigrette. For an extra touch, you could also serve it alongside some steamed green beans or roasted vegetables to round out your meal.

Servings: 6-8

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 16.3-ounce can flaky biscuits (8-count)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2. Lay biscuits on bottom of casserole. Bake for 10 mins until slightly brown.

3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the beef and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in the BBQ sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with the beef and onion mixture, and simmer for 2 more minutes.

5. Pour the beef mixture over the partially baked biscuits. Top with cheese

6. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

7. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

For a bit of a zesty kick, consider adding chopped jalapeños or a dash of chili powder to the beef mixture. If you're in the mood for a different protein, this recipe can also work wonderfully with ground turkey or pulled pork. For a healthier twist, try using whole wheat biscuits and a BBQ sauce with reduced sugar. Don't hesitate to customize the cheeses; a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack can offer a lovely depth of flavor.
