Instructions
-
Prepare the Casserole: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the meat is no longer pink, stirring occasionally to break up the meat. Once browned, drain off any excess grease.
-
-
Mix Ingredients: Add the peas, salt, pepper, American cheese, and milk to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the cheese melts and creates a creamy mixture.
-
Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the beef mixture into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
-
Make the Cheese-Filled Biscuits: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir until the dough comes together.
-
Form the Biscuits: On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently about 12 times. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Take a cheese cube and wrap each piece of dough around it, sealing it tightly.
-
Assemble the Casserole: Place the cheese-filled dough balls on top of the meat mixture in the casserole dish, spacing them evenly.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this comforting dish with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.
This Cheeseburger Casserole with Cheese-Filled Biscuits is sure to become a family favorite, bringing smiles and satisfaction to your dinner table.
