Scatter biscuits and these 2 ingredients over beef for a baked dinner I’ll happily repeat

This 3-Ingredient Ground Beef and Biscuit Bake is the ultimate shortcut to a “pot pie” style comfort meal. By simmering the ground beef directly in condensed cream of mushroom soup, you create a thick, savory gravy that acts as the perfect base for fluffy, golden biscuits. The beauty of this dish is in the contrast between the soft, steamy underside of the biscuits and their crisp, toasted tops.

Ground Beef and Biscuit Bake

Ingredients:

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: The Savory Base: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no pink remains (6–8 minutes). Drain off any excess fat. Stir in the undiluted cream of mushroom soup and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let it bubble gently on low heat until well combined.

Step 2: The Layering: Lightly grease a 9×9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Spread the beef and soup mixture into an even layer.

Tip: Make sure the beef mixture is hot when it goes into the dish! Starting with a warm base helps the bottom of the biscuits cook through properly so they don’t stay “doughy.”

Step 3: The Biscuit Topping: Open the can of biscuits and arrange them in a single layer over the beef. It’s okay if they don’t cover every square inch; they will expand and meet each other as they bake.

Step 4: The Golden Bake: Bake on the center rack for 18–22 minutes. You are looking for the biscuits to be a deep golden brown and the beef gravy to be bubbling up around the edges of the pan.

Step 5: The Rest: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before scooping. This allows the gravy to thicken up so it clings to the beef and biscuits rather than running to the bottom of the plate.
