Brown the Meat and Onions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and finely chopped onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally to break up the meat and ensure even cooking. -
Drain Excess Fat
Once the meat is fully cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet, ensuring you retain the delicious flavors from the browned bits. This step will keep your casserole from being too greasy. -
Combine the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, milk, catsup, and salt. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This creamy base will add richness to your casserole. -
Add the Meat and Onions
Gently fold the browned meat and onions into the cream cheese mixture. Stir until the meat is evenly coated, ensuring that every bite of the casserole is packed with flavor. -
Mix Well
Using a spatula, mix everything thoroughly to ensure that the ground beef is well-distributed throughout the creamy base. This will create a delightful texture and flavor profile in each serving. -
Bake the Casserole
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the beef mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake uncovered for about 10 minutes. This initial baking time allows the flavors to meld beautifully. -
Add the Biscuits
After the first 10 minutes, carefully remove the casserole from the oven. Open the can of biscuits and arrange them on top of the hot casserole. Make sure to leave some space between the biscuits for even cooking. -
Final Baking
Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and fully cooked. This will give the dish a delightful contrast between the savory filling and the fluffy biscuit topping.
Serving Suggestions
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to settle. Pair it with a fresh garden salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal that everyone will love. Enjoy this easy and satisfying dish with family and friends!
Tips for Success
- For a little extra flavor, consider adding your favorite herbs or spices to the meat mixture, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.
- You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, making this a great option for meal prep!
This Ground Beef Casserole with Biscuits is a fantastic choice for busy weeknights or a cozy family dinner. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures, and watch it become a beloved staple in your household.
