Ground Beef Filling
- 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 10.5 oz condensed cheddar soup
- 10.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Biscuit Topping
- 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (including seasoning packet)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cobbler perfectly.
- Cook the ground beef and onions: Place the ground beef in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and chopped garlic. Crumble the beef thoroughly while cooking until completely browned and no pink remains.
- Prepare the filling mixture: Once browned, reduce heat and stir in the condensed cheddar soup, cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- Add cheddar cheese to filling: Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the beef mixture, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Prepare the baking dish: Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the beef mixture evenly into the dish and spread it out flat. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef filling.
- Make the biscuit batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (reserve the seasoning packet), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 cups milk. Stir until no large lumps remain to form a smooth batter.
- Top and bake: Pour the biscuit batter evenly over the cheddar cheese layer in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare buttery topping: While the cobbler bakes, combine the melted butter with the reserved seasoning packet from the biscuit mix.
- Finish the cobbler: Remove the cobbler from the oven and brush the butter and seasoning mixture evenly over the hot biscuit topping.
- Rest and garnish: Let the cobbler rest for 5 minutes to allow the butter to absorb and the filling to thicken. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve: Slice and serve the comforting Cheddar Bay Ground Beef Cobbler warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- For added flavor, you can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the ground beef filling.
- Use lean ground beef (90% lean or higher) to reduce excess fat and grease.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated covered for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free biscuit mix and gluten-free condensed soups.
