Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tube Pillsbury biscuits (8 count)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, chopped
- Seasoning to taste (e.g., Montreal Steak seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a glass or ceramic baking dish (7×9 or 9×11 works). Separate the biscuits in half. Line the bottom halves into the dish and set the top halves aside. Bake for 5 minutes to begin cooking.
- Sauté chopped onion with a little oil in a medium pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add ground beef, chop and cook thoroughly until browned, then drain excess grease.
- Season the cooked beef mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or any preferred spices. Montreal Steak seasoning is recommended.
- Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the baked biscuit bottoms. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef. Place the uncooked biscuit tops directly over the cheese.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are golden brown. Serve alone or with cheeseburger condiments and toppings of choice.
