Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb smoked beef (ground)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brown smoked beef in a skillet, drain excess fat. Add beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; simmer 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk flour and baking powder. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk and half of the cheddar cheese until just combined.
- Grease a baking dish, spread beef mixture evenly. Drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough over the beef, then sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake 20‑25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version
- add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef sauce. Use cold butter for fluffier biscuits. Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave.
