Barbecue Beef and Cheese Casserole

nonstick cooking spray

1 tbsp salted butter

½ cup onion(diced)

3 cloves garlic(minced)

2 pounds ground beef

½ cup barbecue sauce

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese(for casserole)

1 pkg. refrigerated biscuits(jumbo, 16 oz. per package)

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese(for topping)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a large saute pan. Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, 5-6 minutes.

Remove the beef mixture from heat and add the barbecue sauce and cheese. Stir to combine.

Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the biscuits. Top with the beef mixture and remaining cheese.

Bake the casserole on middle rack of oven until beef reaches a temperature of 160°F, biscuits are cooked, and cheese is bubbling, 15-20 minutes.

Check to see that casserole is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve casserole immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Brown the Beef Properly 🍳
Cook ground beef in batches over medium-high heat without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop a flavorful crust, then break apart for even browning and better texture throughout the casserole.
Caramelize Aromatics First 🧅
Sauté diced onions and garlic in butter for 3-4 minutes until golden before adding beef to build a deep, complex flavor foundation that elevates the entire dish.
Balance Sauce-to-Meat Ratio 🍖
Use slightly less barbecue sauce than you think necessary since the biscuits will absorb moisture during baking; you can always add more sauce between layers if needed.
Toast Biscuits Before Topping 🥐
Place biscuits on a separate rack at 400°F for 2-3 minutes until just golden before arranging on the casserole to prevent them from becoming soggy and ensure a crispy, buttery texture.
Cheese Layering Strategy 🧀
Reserve half your cheddar to sprinkle on top during the final 5 minutes of baking so it melts into golden strings rather than browning too early or becoming tough throughout cooking.
