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 “emergency” dinner—perfect for those nights when you need a hot, filling meal on the table with zero fuss. It’s essentially a simplified shepherd’s pie, using refrigerated biscuits as a fluffy, golden “crust” and condensed soup to create an instant savory gravy. It’s warm, beefy, and the definition of cozy kitchen simplicity.

How To Make 3-Ingredient Ground Beef and Biscuit Bake:

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little oil.

Step 2: Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef for 6/8 minutes until fully browned.

Step 3: Make the Instant Gravy: Reduce the heat to low and stir the undiluted condensed soup into the beef. Let it simmer for a minute until it’s bubbling gently. Add a pinch of salt and pepper here to boost the flavor of the soup.

Step 4: Layer the Filling: Transfer the beef and soup mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer so it supports the biscuits evenly.

Step 5: Top with Biscuits: Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Arrange them in a single layer on top of the beef. Don’t worry if they don’t cover every single inch; they will puff up and spread out as they bake.

Step 6: Bake to Golden: Bake for 18/22 minutes. You are looking for the biscuits to be a deep golden brown on top and the beefy gravy to be bubbling up around the sides.

Step 7: The Rest: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before scooping. This allows the gravy to “set” so it clings to the beef and biscuits perfectly.
