Instructions Table
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by mixing the ground beef with ¼ cup of water. This step helps the meat break up more easily while cooking and ensures it cooks evenly, leading to a better overall texture. |
| 2 | In a separate bowl, place the onion soup mix and minced onion in 1 cup of warm water to allow them to rehydrate. During this time, proceed to prepare the biscuits according to the package directions while browning the meat. |
| 3 | In a cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook the meat until it begins to stick and develop a lovely brown crust on the bottom of the skillet, as this enhances the flavor of the dish. |
| 4 | To deglaze the skillet and incorporate all those tasty browned bits, add a little water to the pan. Repeat this process three to four times, which adds a significant amount of flavor to the dish, though you can skip it if desired. |
| 5 | Once you have deglazed the skillet, add the rehydrated soup, onion, and water mixture along with the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and any other desired seasonings. |
| 6 | If you prefer a gravy-like texture, you can thicken the mixture with a cornstarch slurry (mixing ½ tsp cornstarch with a little water) or let it cook down to reduce the liquid to your preferred consistency. I personally enjoy a nice gravy! |
| 7 | To serve, separate the canned biscuits and generously top each one with the seasoned beef mixture. Feel free to add pickles, mustard, or any other toppings you enjoy on your burgers. |
| 8 | For a delightful twist, you can also serve this mixture on traditional hamburger buns or even hotdog buns if you prefer. When served on hamburger buns, it tastes remarkably similar to a classic Krystal burger, a true treat for the family! |
This recipe for Scrambled Burgers on Canned Biscuits not only provides a fun twist on traditional burgers but also allows for creativity and customization in toppings, making it an enjoyable meal for both kids and adults alike. The combination of savory beef, flavorful seasonings, and the comforting texture of biscuits makes this dish a delightful option for any lunch or snack time. Enjoy this quick meal with your family and watch as it becomes a beloved staple in your household!
