Cheeseburger Biscuit Bake turns ground beef, onion, cheddar, and refrigerated biscuits into eight golden-topped portions. Pre-baking the biscuit bottoms is the key structural step: it gives the dough a head start before the seasoned beef and cheese are layered over it.
The recipe serves 4, yields 8 biscuit sandwiches, and takes 45 minutes: 15 minutes of preparation and 30 minutes of cooking. Use a 7×9-inch or 9×11-inch glass dish, keep the oven at 350°F, and allow the finished bake to rest for 5 minutes.
Cheeseburger Biscuit Bake Ingredients
Gather 1 pound ground beef, one 8-count tube Pillsbury biscuits, 1 small onion chopped, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 tablespoon cooking oil.
Season the beef with Montreal steak seasoning to taste. If unavailable, use salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste instead. The finished bake can be served with favorite cheeseburger condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or pickles, but those are optional serving additions rather than ingredients baked into the dish.
