A delightful casserole dish combining savory ground beef, tangy barbecue sauce, and fluffy biscuits, topped with melted cheese.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the biscuits.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease, or drain the fat after cooking.
Stir in the salt, barbecue sauce, and brown sugar, and let the mixture simmer until heated through and bubbly.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
Transfer the beef mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Evenly spread the mixture for consistent baking.
Peel the biscuits in half horizontally and arrange them on top of the beef mixture.
Halving the biscuits ensures they bake through and become fluffy.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the biscuits.
Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Check the biscuits for doneness by gently pressing; they should feel firm and springy.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Cheesy Barbecue Biscuit Bake!
Allowing the dish to rest helps the flavors settle and makes serving easier.
