Ingredients
Beef Mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup diced yellow onion
- 2 (10.4 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom)
- 12 ounce bag frozen vegetables
- 1 cup chicken broth (or beef broth)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese (divided use)
Biscuit Topping
- 11.36 ounce box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix (with seasoning packet)
- 1 ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup shredded Colby Jack cheese (remaining from 1 ½ cups total)
Finishing
- ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter
- Seasoning packet from biscuit mix
- 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (optional; can use dried parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 400˚F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and allow for easy serving.
- Cook Ground Beef and Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground beef and ½ cup diced yellow onion. Cook and crumble the meat until it is fully browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet and return the beef mixture back to the pan.
- Add Soup, Vegetables, and Seasonings: To the cooked beef in the skillet, add both cans (21 ounces total) of cream of chicken soup, 12 ounces of frozen vegetables, 1 cup of chicken broth, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir everything together until evenly combined and heated through.
- Transfer Beef Mixture to Baking Dish: Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Colby Jack cheese over the top to add a rich cheesy layer.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix with 1 ¾ cups milk, the remaining ½ cup shredded Colby Jack cheese, and mix until fully combined to form a thick batter. Spread this biscuit mixture evenly on top of the beef and cheese layer in the baking dish.
- Bake the Cobbler: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Prepare Butter and Seasoning Topping: While the cobbler bakes, mix together ¼ cup (½ stick) of melted unsalted butter with the seasoning packet from the biscuit mix in a small bowl. Once the cobbler is baked, remove it from the oven and use a pastry brush to coat the biscuit crust generously with this buttery seasoning mixture.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley or a pinch of dried parsley over the top for a fresh herbal flavor and attractive presentation. Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Ground Beef Cobbler!
Notes
- You can substitute the cream of chicken soup with cream of mushroom soup for a different flavor.
- Be sure to drain the cooked ground beef to avoid a greasy filling.
- Frozen mixed vegetables like peas, carrots, and corn work well in this recipe.
- The biscuit topping can be spread with a spatula or gently poured and then spread evenly.
- Using the seasoning packet brushed on top after baking enhances the cheddar bay biscuit flavors.
- For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of chicken broth if desired.
- This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking—add a few extra minutes to baking if chilled.
