Let’s delve into the role of each ingredient:
- Ground Beef: The heart of this dish, lean ground beef is rich in protein and provides a satisfying base.
- Onion and Garlic: These aromatics enhance the dish’s flavor profile, adding depth and sweetness when cooked down.
- Condensed Soups: The cheddar and cream of mushroom soups create a creamy, savory base, adding flavor and moisture.
- Milk: This helps to loosen up the soup mixture while also adding creaminess.
- Cheddar Cheese: A double dose of shredded cheddar throughout the dish brings melty goodness that is irresistible.
- Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix: This pre-made mix simplifies preparation while giving the cobbler its delightful biscuit topping.
- Butter: Used to brush over the biscuit topping, it adds richness and helps achieve a beautiful golden brown color.
- Parsley: A fresh garnish that adds a pop of color and freshness to the final dish.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is properly heated before baking.
- Brown the Beef: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1.5 lbs of lean ground beef. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks.
- Add the Aromatics: Incorporate 1 diced yellow onion and 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic into the skillet. Stir occasionally until the onion is tender and the beef is browned.
- Combine Soups: Once the beef is fully cooked, add 10.5 oz of condensed cheddar soup, 10.5 oz of cream of mushroom soup, ½ cup of milk, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper into the skillet. Stir until well combined.
- Add Cheese: Mix in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt into the beef mixture. Remove the skillet from heat once combined.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and pour the ground beef mixture into it, spreading it evenly.
- Layer Cheese: Sprinkle another 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ground beef mixture, creating a cheesy layer.
- Mix the Biscuit Batter: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the box of Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (setting aside the seasoning packet). Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups of milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and free from large lumps.
- Top with Biscuit Batter: Carefully pour the biscuit batter over the ground beef mixture in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 – 55 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is nicely browned across the top.
- Brush with Butter: Remove the baking dish from the oven. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of melted butter with the seasoning packet saved from the biscuit mix. Brush this mixture generously over the cobbler.
- Rest the Dish: Let the cobbler rest for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to thicken.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top if desired, serve, and enjoy your delicious creation!
