Ingredients
- For the beef filling:
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- For the cheddar biscuit topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- For brushing:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over beef mixture. Stir in tomato paste, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Gradually add beef broth and milk, stirring constantly until thickened into a gravy. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in shredded cheddar. Add milk and stir until just combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the beef filling in the skillet.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until biscuit topping is golden and cooked through.
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush over hot biscuits. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Add peas, carrots, or corn for a veggie-packed variation.
- Use chili powder for a spicy twist.
- Swap in ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
- Use a baking dish if your skillet isn’t oven-safe.
- Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze after baking.
