Ingredients
A. Ground Beef Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/4 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
B. Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping
- 1 box Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (with seasoning packet)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup water (or as package directs)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (mixed with the included seasoning packet)
Instructions
1. Make the Beef Filling
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
Stir in salt, pepper, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and mixed vegetables.
Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to coat. Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened and creamy.
Transfer the filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping
In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix, shredded cheddar cheese, and water. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Spoon dollops of the dough evenly over the beef filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
3. Bake
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden and fully cooked.
Mix the included seasoning packet with melted butter and brush it over the hot biscuits immediately after baking.
Tips
- For richer flavor, add a splash of beef broth or cream to loosen the filling before topping.
- Sauté mushrooms with the onions for extra depth.
- Use fresh vegetables instead of frozen for a brighter, fresher pot pie.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce.
Serving Ideas
Serve with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or steamed broccoli. This casserole also pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or a simple fruit salad for balance.
