Step-by-step
- Cook both your ground beef and bacon on the stove, drain fat.
- Preheat oven to 350F, spray a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Cut up your 10 small pillsbury biscuits into 8 pieces each, spread evenly in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- In a bowl mix your ground beef, ketchup, mustard, diced onion, bread crumbs, 2 pieces of your bacon, chopped up (leave other 2 pieces aside) and ⅓ cup cheese (leave other ⅓ cup aside)
- Spoon meat mixture onto the dough pieces in your dish.
- Bake in oven for 20 minutes.
- Top with remaining cheese and bacon and return to oven for additional 10 minutes.
Golden biscuit pieces anchor a savory layer of seasoned ground beef, sharp mustard, and melted cheese, creating distinct pockets of soft dough and crisp edges. Understanding how moisture behaves during the bake prevents common textural flaws.
Managing Moisture and Dough Density
Raw onions release water as they heat. Dice them finely and sauté them briefly with the beef if excess liquid threatens to make the bottom dough soggy. Cut the 7.5-ounce package of biscuits uniformly so pieces cook at the same rate. Spacing the dough evenly across the 9x13-inch pan ensures the center pieces rise correctly without trapping steam beneath the meat mixture. Aluminum foil can shield the top if the cheese browns too quickly before the twenty-minute mark.
- Bake initially at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for twenty minutes before adding the final cheese layer.
- Drain all rendered fat from the skillet after cooking the ground beef and bacon to keep the casserole from becoming greasy.
- Refrigerate leftovers within two hours in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat individual portions in a toaster oven to restore crust crispness.
