🍳 Cook the Ground Beef
Start by browning your beef.
Step 1 — Sauté the Meat
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.
Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Step 2 — Add Onions & Seasonings
Stir in diced onion; cook until soft and fragrant.
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Worcestershire if using.
Drain any excess grease so your casserole doesn’t turn oily.
🧈 Prep the Biscuit Layer
This casserole starts with a tasty biscuit base.
Step 3 — Cut the Biscuits
Open the can of refrigerated biscuits.
Cut each piece into quarters so they bake evenly and absorb flavor.
Step 4 — Line the Baking Dish
Grease your baking pan, then scatter the biscuit pieces across the bottom.
Spread them evenly into a single layer.
As they bake, the biscuits puff up and form a tender base under the beef.
🥚 Mix the Egg Custard
Step 5 — Whisk Together
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
This mixture binds the casserole and creates a fluffy, savory texture.
Pour the egg mixture over the biscuit pieces slowly so it soaks in.
🧱 Layer the Beef & Cheese
Step 6 — Add Beef
Spoon the cooked beef evenly on top of the biscuits and egg layer.
Step 7 — Add Cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese all over the top.
Use more cheese if your heart tells you to — casseroles love cheese!
🔥 Bake to Golden Perfection
Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F.
Step 8 — Bake
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until:
✔ the biscuits are cooked through
✔ the egg custard is set
✔ the cheese is melted and bubbly
✔ the top has golden spots
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
