Ingredients

For the Casserole

1 lb Ground Beef Main protein; cook just until browned for the best texture.
1 tbsp Olive Oil Ideal for sautéing the beef; can be swapped with vegetable oil if needed.
1 medium Onion Adds sweetness and depth; shallots work well for a milder flavor.
2 cloves Garlic Enhances overall taste; garlic powder can substitute in a pinch.
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup Provides creaminess; use homemade cream sauce for a gluten-free alternative.
1 cup Milk Liquid for the soup mixture; opt for almond or soy milk for dairy-free options.
2 cups Cheddar Cheese Melty topping for flavor; aged cheddar gives a richer taste, but colby jack is a good swap.

For the Biscuit Topping

1 pkg Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix Essential for that signature flavor; any biscuit mix can be used but won't replicate that unique taste.
1/2 cup Butter Adds richness to the topping; margarine can substitute if necessary.
1 tsp Garlic Powder Bumps up the biscuit flavor; feel free to omit if garlic is not your thing.

Method

How to Make Cheddar Bay Hamburger Casserole

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and brown for 6-8 minutes, then drain excess fat.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in cream of mushroom soup and milk with salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
Prepare the biscuit topping according to package instructions and spread it over the cheese layer.
Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until the biscuit topping is golden brown.
Brush melted butter mixed with garlic powder over the topping after baking and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
