Instructions
Ground beef filling
- Sauté - In a skillet or cast-iron skillet, sauté the ground beef in oil until browned. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and saute for another 2 minutes until the onions are translucent. Pro tip - I like to use my cast-iron skillet, stovetop, and oven so that I can make this in one pot.1 lb Ground beef, 2 tbsp Olive oil, 1/2 cup Red onions , 1/2 cup Carrots, 1/2 cup Celery , 1 tsp Garlic
- Simmer - Next, add the rosemary, thyme, paprika, and tomato paste. Then, add the peas and chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.Pro tip - This beef filling can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge.1 tsp Paprika , 2 tbsp Tomato paste, 1/2 tbsp Rosemary , 1/2 tbsp Thyme, 1/2 cup Peas, 1 cup Chicken broth, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/2 tsp Pepper
Cheddar cheese Biscuits
- Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Then, add the chilled, cubed butter. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until it reaches an almost breadcrumb consistency.Pro tip - You can also do this in the food processor.2 cups All-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- Next, add both cheddar cheeses and combine well. Add the milk/buttermilk gradually and mix well. Pro tip - We want the butter to remain chilled at all times, so if necessary, place the bowl in the fridge as needed.1/2 cup Butter, 1/4 cup White cheddar, 1/2 cup Yellow cheddar, 3/4 cup Buttermilk or Milk
Assemble & Bake
- Preheat the oven oven to 425°F / 220°C / Gas mark 7
- Pour the ground beef into an oven-safe casserole dish. ( I used my oven-safe skillet, so transferring was unnecessary).
- Scoop the biscuit dough over the ground beef using a cookie scooper or two tablespoons.
- Place the casserole on a baking dish and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits on top are golden.
- Enjoy!
