These biscuits turned my picky kids into big fans of ground beef dinners. Every time I make them the kitchen smells like the inside of a real burger joint and nobody complains about what is on their plate.

Ingredients

• Ground beef: one pound for rich savory flavor look for eighty five percent lean for juicy results
• Pillsbury biscuits: one eight count tube for pillowy layers use original flavor for best texture
• Shredded cheddar cheese: one cup for melty goodness sharp cheddar gives an extra punch
• Small onion: chopped brings sweetness and aroma pick firm onions without blemishes
• Seasoning: to taste I use Montreal steak blend for a peppery kick but any burger seasoning works choose your favorite

Instructions

Prepare the Baking Dish:

Preheat oven to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease your glass or ceramic baking dish with oil or spray. Use a dish around seven inches by nine inches but a nine by eleven also works for thinner layers.

Parbake the Biscuit Bottoms:

Separate each biscuit in half for thinner layers and arrange the bottom halves across the base of the dish. Bake just five minutes so the bottoms get a head start and won’t be soggy.

Sauté the Aromatics:

While the bottoms are in the oven heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook gently for about five minutes until they soften and turn translucent stirring so they do not brown too fast.

Brown the Beef:

Add ground beef to the onion mixture and use a wooden spoon to break it up fully. Cook until the beef loses its pink and develops some toasty brown spots for deep flavor. Drain off any excess grease so the biscuits stay crisp.

Season the Filling:

Sprinkle in your seasoning blend and stir well to distribute flavors. Taste the beef and adjust with a pinch of salt or extra spice if needed.

Assemble the Biscuits:

Remove your partially baked biscuit layer from the oven. Spread the hot beef and onion mixture evenly across the top. Scatter the shredded cheddar cheese all over so every bite melts perfectly. Top with the remaining biscuit halves pressing gently into the filling.

Bake to Golden Perfection:

Return the dish to the oven. Bake another twenty to twenty five minutes until the tops turn golden brown and the cheese bubbles at the edges. Check after twenty minutes so they do not overbake.

Serve and Enjoy:

Let the biscuits cool briefly before serving. I like putting out little bowls of ketchup pickles or burger sauce on the side so everyone can dress theirs up just like a cheeseburger.

My favorite part is always the edge pieces where the cheese caramelizes against the baking dish. The smell of these biscuits baking reminds me of weekend dinners growing up we always competed for the cheesiest slice.

Storage Tips

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. For longer storage wrap tightly and freeze up to one month. To reheat use the oven or toaster oven so the biscuit tops stay crisp. A quick zap in the microwave works too but the texture will be a little softer.

Ingredient Substitutions

Ground turkey or chicken can substitute for beef if you prefer. For a lower dairy option try part skim mozzarella. You can swap in red onion or even a handful of diced bell pepper for sweetness. If you do not have Pillsbury biscuits any similar brand or frozen biscuit dough will also work.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these biscuits on their own for a one dish meal or pair with a crisp green salad to balance all that rich cheese. They are also perfect as party appetizers just cut into smaller squares with bowls of dipping sauces on the side. For extra cheeseburger vibes add shredded lettuce tomatoes or pickled jalapeños for a fun twist.

These chopped cheeseburger biscuits are an easy crowd pleaser that reheats well. Let them rest five minutes before slicing so the cheese sets.
