Ingredients

For the Hamburger Filling

1½ pounds ground beef

1 small onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup beef broth

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Topping

2 cups biscuit mix (such as Bisquick)

3/4 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

For the Garlic Butter Topping

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or a light coating of butter.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat into crumbles as it cooks.

Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Drain any excess grease, then stir in the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and beef broth. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Stir just until a soft dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.

Spoon portions of the biscuit dough over the beef filling, leaving a little space between each scoop so the biscuits can expand while baking.

Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is lightly browned, fluffy, and fully cooked.

While the casserole finishes baking, stir together the melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush the mixture generously over the hot biscuits immediately after removing the casserole from the oven.

Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving so the filling can set slightly.
