Description
A quick and hearty one-pan dinner featuring savory ground beef and vegetables topped with fluffy biscuits, ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 fat ratio)
- 1 Small Onion (diced)
- 2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 Can (10.5 oz) Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1 Cup Frozen Peas and Carrots
- 1 Can (16.3 oz) Refrigerated Biscuits
- 1 Teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until beef is no longer pink and onions are soft. Drain excess fat if needed and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in minced garlic and paprika. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the condensed soup and milk. Stir well to combine and simmer for 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Stir in the frozen peas and carrots.
- Open the can of biscuits. If they are large, cut them in half to ensure even cooking. Keep them cold until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the skillet with the beef mixture in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet carefully. Place the biscuit halves on top of the hot beef mixture. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the gravy to set.
Notes
Do not skip the resting step; if you cut into it immediately, the gravy will be runny. Ensure beef is well-browned for depth of flavor. If using lean beef, add a splash of broth to keep it moist. For low-sodium options, use low-sodium soup and milk.
