Top beef with biscuits and just two more ingredients for a baked dinner I’ll gladly make again
3-Ingredient Ground Beef and Biscuit Bake
This 3-ingredient Ground Beef and Biscuit Bake is the ultimate “emergency” dinner—ideal for nights when you want a hot, hearty meal with zero hassle. Think of it as a simplified shepherd’s pie: refrigerated biscuits form a fluffy, golden “crust,” while condensed soup creates a quick, savory gravy. Warm, beefy, and utterly cozy, it’s kitchen simplicity at its best.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ground beef (80/90% lean) | 1 lb |
| Refrigerated biscuit dough | 1 can (10–16 oz) |
| Condensed cream of mushroom or chicken soup | 1 can (10½ oz) |
| Salt and black pepper | To taste |
Instructions
1. Prep Oven & Dish
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a bit of oil.
2. Brown the Beef
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef for 6–8 minutes until fully browned.
3. Make the Quick Gravy
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir the undiluted condensed soup into the beef. Simmer for a minute until gently bubbling. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Layer the Filling
Spread the beef and soup mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, creating a level base for the biscuits.
5. Top with Biscuits
Separate the biscuits and arrange them in a single layer over the beef. Don’t worry if the layer isn’t perfect—they’ll puff and expand as they bake.
6. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the biscuits are deep golden brown and the beef gravy is bubbling around the edges.
7. Rest & Serve
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes to allow the gravy to set, then scoop and enjoy.
