Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This ensures your casserole cooks evenly.
-
Brown Ground Beef: In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s nicely cooked through. Break it apart as it cooks to ensure it’s evenly browned.
-
-
Add Onions: Once the ground beef is browned, stir in the chopped onions. Cook them until they become translucent, adding a delightful aroma and flavor to your dish.
-
Drain Fat: Drain any excess fat from the ground beef mixture. This helps to reduce the greasiness of the dish while still retaining all the delicious flavors.
-
Layer Ingredients: Transfer the ground beef and onion mixture into a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. On top of this, layer the baked beans, barbecue sauce, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Prepare Biscuits: Cut the refrigerated biscuits in half, creating a perfect base for your casserole. Arrange them around the edges of the casserole dish, ensuring they’re evenly spaced.
-
Add Crunch: Sprinkle the French-fried onions over the center of the casserole dish. These will add a delightful crunch and extra flavor to each bite.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite herbs or additional barbecue sauce if desired.
Notes:
- This casserole is a perfect one-dish meal that’s quick and easy to prepare, making it ideal for busy weeknights.
- Customize it by adding your favorite toppings like sliced jalapeรฑos, diced tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream.
