This oven-baked 3-ingredient ground beef and biscuit bake is the kind of weeknight recipe I lean on when the day has gotten away from me but I still want something warm and satisfying out of the oven. It\u2019s a distant cousin of classic Midwestern casseroles\u2014think beefy hotdish meets biscuit-topped pot pie, stripped down to its essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refrigerated biscuits, which first became popular in American home kitchens in the mid-20th century, are a bit of convenience magic: they give you a tender, golden crust without any mixing bowls or rolling pins. Paired with seasoned ground beef and a simple sauce, you get a cozy, all-in-one bake that\u2019s approachable for new cooks and still customizable enough to keep more experienced cooks interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the sort of dish you make when you want comfort, minimal cleanup, and something the whole table will actually eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This beef and biscuit bake plays well with simple, fresh sides that cut through its richness. I like to serve it with a crisp green salad\u2014romaine or mixed greens tossed with a sharp vinaigrette\u2014to balance the buttery biscuits. Steamed or roasted vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, or carrots, also work nicely and can roast in the oven alongside the casserole if you time it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Serving

If you want to lean into the Midwestern comfort-food theme, a side of coleslaw or a simple cucumber-and-onion salad in a light dressing is a great contrast. For a heartier spread, add a bowl of fruit salad or sliced fresh fruit to bring some brightness to the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3-Ingredient Ground Beef and Biscuit Bake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Servings: 6 servings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 pound (450 g) ground beef (80\u201390% lean)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 can (about 10\u201316 oz \/ 280\u2013450 g) refrigerated biscuit dough<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 can (10.5 oz \/ 295 g) condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken), undiluted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt and black pepper, to taste (optional but recommended)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking spray or a little oil, for greasing the baking dish<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch (or similar) baking dish with cooking spray or a thin film of oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ground

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is fully browned and no pink remains, 6\u20138 minutes. If there is a lot of excess fat, carefully spoon some off. Season the beef lightly with salt and black pepper, if using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduce the heat to low and stir the condensed cream of mushroom soup into the cooked beef until the mixture is evenly combined and bubbling gently. Taste and adjust seasoning with a bit more salt and pepper if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Beef

Transfer the beef and soup mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer so the biscuits will bake uniformly on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the can of refrigerated biscuits. Separate the biscuits and arrange them in a single layer over the beef mixture. It\u2019s fine if there are small gaps; the biscuits will expand as they bake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Unbaked

Place the baking dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 18\u201322 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed and deep golden brown on top and the beef mixture is bubbling around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove the bake from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This brief rest allows the filling to thicken slightly and makes it easier to scoop and serve. Serve warm, making sure each portion gets both biscuits and plenty of the beefy gravy underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variations & Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because this recipe is so streamlined, it\u2019s easy to adapt it to your taste or what you have on hand. For a cheesier version, sprinkle 1 to 1 1\/2 cups of shredded cheddar or Colby Jack over the beef mixture before adding the biscuits; the cheese will melt into a gooey layer under the biscuit topping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like more vegetables, stir in 1 to 1 1\/2 cups of thawed frozen mixed vegetables or peas and carrots with the soup and beef\u2014this turns it into more of a one-pan meal. You can also swap the cream of mushroom soup for cream of chicken or cream of celery to change the flavor profile slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a bit more depth, season the beef while browning with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or a dash of Worcestershire sauce. If you prefer a lighter dish, use leaner ground beef or substitute part of the beef with ground turkey. Finally, if your biscuits are browning too quickly before the filling is bubbly, tent the dish loosely with foil for the last few minutes of baking to protect the tops while the center finishes cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
