Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tsp dried basil leaves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- Sesame seeds (for sprinkling)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic: In an ovenproof skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic until beef is browned. Drain any excess fat.
-
Add tomato sauce and seasonings: Stir in tomato sauce, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the meat mixture for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flavors meld.
-
Stir in cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined with the meat sauce.
-
Prepare biscuits: Meanwhile, separate biscuits and cut a hole in the center of each to form them into a donut shape.
-
Arrange biscuits: Place the prepared biscuits in a ring around the edges of the skillet, slightly overlapping each other. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for a golden finish.
-
Sprinkle with sesame seeds: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the meat sauce in the center of the skillet.
-
Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot, spooning the beefy sauce over the biscuits.
Cooking Tips:
- If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, you can cook the beef mixture in a regular skillet and transfer it to a casserole dish before arranging the biscuits and baking in the oven.
- Customize the recipe by adding your favorite vegetables to the meat sauce, such as bell peppers or mushrooms, to boost nutrition and flavor.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the meat sauce.
