Easy Beef on Garlic Cheddar Biscuits

When I first invented this easy ground beef recipe back in 2009, my kids were 3 years old and they loved to help me cook dinner. They did not love to eat dinner, but they were cool with hanging out with mom while she slaved away over the stove. They were so adorable and we were so very broke. It was then that I honed my skill at making dinner out of whatever was at hand, a skill I didn’t even know was a thing until much later in life.

Anyway, back to this easy ground beef recipe I made up when we were poor and destitute in 2009. Here’s what I like about it: 1 – it’s cheap. 2 – it’s easy 3 – it’s delicious. What does it not do? Make you thinner, but we can’t have everything. Your kids are gonna love it. My kids love it even all of these years later!

Do you have to make biscuits? No, you don’t have to, but – y’all – biscuits are easy and you can make twice as many as you can buy for the same dang price. So take 7 minutes out of your life and make some biscuits to go on top of this beef casserole.

Okay, lets talk about biscuits for a hot minute. Let me tell you the secret to making big, flaky, cat-head biscuits….folding. That’s right, FOLDING.

What do I mean by folding? Well, here’s what you are gonna do. You are gonna make your biscuit dough. You are gonna pat it out to a rough square then you are gonna fold it like a beach towel. Then you are gonna pat it out again (straight from the beach towel shape. Just press it back out) and fold it all up like a towel again. Then you are gonna press it back out and then you are gonna cut out your biscuits and place them so that they “kiss”. This helps them get as big and fluffy as they can.

There. Now you know the secret to good Southern biscuits. You can now impress all of your Californian friends.

    That looks really tasty. Not enough people go shopping for inspiration in their own fridges first.

    Also, I think it is great that your kids help out. Even if they are getting under your feet now, you will love the memories later. Plus, any mother that teaches her son to cook has done a future wife a big favour!
