Description
A comforting dish featuring a savory beef filling topped with a cheddar-infused biscuit, perfect for family dinners and potlucks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or baby bella recommended)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups sharp cheddar, freshly grated
- For the topping: 2 cups self-rising flour
- 6 tablespoons cold butter
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cheddar mixed in
Instructions
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Brown the ground beef until deep brown, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Remove excess fat and add chopped onion and mushrooms; sauté until softened, then stir in garlic until fragrant.
- Stir in tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce, cooking for a minute. Add beef broth and simmer until thickened, then fold in most of the grated cheddar.
- In a separate bowl, combine self-rising flour, garlic powder, and cold butter; cut the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk and reserved cheddar until a sticky dough forms.
- Spoon or drop the dough on top of the beef mixture, spacing evenly. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Let rest before serving.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the pan when browning the beef for optimal flavor. Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt.
