Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) lean ground beef
- 2 cups (226 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
Sauce and Baking Ingredients:
- 10.5 ounces (298 grams) condensed cheddar soup
- 10.5 ounces (298 grams) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix
- 1 cup (226 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) milk
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter, melted
Instructions
- Sauté ground beef with onions and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat until meat browns completely and releases rich, aromatic flavors.
- Create a creamy sauce by blending cheddar soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and half the shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked meat mixture, stirring until uniformly incorporated.
- Transfer the savory beef mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly and sprinkling remaining cheese across the top for additional flavor depth.
- Prepare biscuit topping by whisking Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with milk and additional shredded cheese until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Carefully pour biscuit mixture over the beef base, ensuring complete coverage and allowing mixture to settle naturally.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes, monitoring until the topping transforms into a golden-brown, crispy layer with a slightly puffy texture.
- Remove from oven and immediately brush surface with melted butter, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
- Allow cobbler to rest for 5-7 minutes, enabling flavors to meld and helping the dish set before serving hot.
Notes
- Customize the meat by using ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option that still delivers rich flavor.
- Enhance vegetable content by adding diced bell peppers, carrots, or frozen mixed vegetables to boost nutritional value and create more texture.
- Simplify preparation by using pre-shredded cheese and preparing the biscuit mixture while the beef cooks to streamline the cooking process.
- Make the dish gluten-free by substituting regular Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix with a gluten-free baking mix and ensuring all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
