Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 cup frozen green beans, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef and onion mixture with the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, corn, green beans, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Arrange the refrigerated biscuit dough pieces over the top of the beef mixture, slightly overlapping them to cover the surface.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the casserole from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the hot biscuits.
  8. Return the dish to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving this easy weeknight dinner.

Notes

  • You can substitute the canned soups with homemade cream sauces if you prefer fewer processed ingredients.
  • For a Tex-Mex flavor, add one packet of taco seasoning to the ground beef mixture.
  • This casserole freezes well before baking; cover tightly and freeze for up to three months. Thaw completely before baking.
