Description
Cowboy Biscuit Casserole is a hearty, cheesy one-dish meal made with ground beef, beans, tomatoes, cheddar, and buttery biscuits. It’s perfect for a quick, comforting dinner and easy to customize with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 (15 oz) can chili beans or baked beans
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped green onions, jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned and tender. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the undrained tomatoes with green chilies, beans, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 5–7 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Cut each biscuit into quarters and scatter them across the cheese layer.
- Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, green onions, or jalapeños if desired.
Notes
Use spicy sausage instead of ground beef for extra heat.
Black beans or kidney beans can be used for variety.
Pepper jack cheese adds more spice if preferred.
Add taco seasoning for a Tex-Mex flavor boost.
Include frozen corn or chopped bell peppers for added veggies.
Leftovers keep well for up to 4 days in the fridge.
Cover with foil when reheating to prevent biscuits from drying out.
