Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits (Print Version)

Pillsbury biscuits split in half, bottom halves prebaked, topped with seasoned ground beef and onions, cheddar cheese, and remaining biscuit halves, baked until golden.

# Ingredients:

→ For the Cheeseburger Biscuits

01 - 1 lb ground beef
02 - 1 (8 count) tube Pillsbury biscuits
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 1 small onion, chopped
05 - Seasoning to taste (Montreal Steak seasoning recommended)
06 - Oil for cooking
07 - Cheeseburger condiments and toppings for serving (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a glass or ceramic baking dish - a 7x9 inch or 9x11 inch dish works great.
02 - Separate each biscuit in half horizontally so you have 16 thin rounds. Line the bottom halves into your greased dish and set the top halves aside for later. Bake these bottom biscuits for about 5 minutes - just enough to give them a head start so they don't get soggy from the beef.
03 - While the biscuits are baking, heat a little oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the ground beef, break it up with a spoon, and cook until thoroughly browned. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
04 - Season the beef and onion mixture with your favorite seasonings - Montreal Steak seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder all work great. Mix well.
05 - Take the prebaked biscuits out of the oven. Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef, then place the remaining uncooked biscuit halves directly on top.
06 - Put the dish back in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
07 - Serve these warm on their own or with your favorite cheeseburger condiments like ketchup, mustard, pickles, or lettuce and tomato. These are like deconstructed cheeseburgers in biscuit form!

# Notes:

01 - Prebaking the bottom biscuits for 5 minutes prevents them from getting soggy from the beef juices.
02 - Separating the biscuits in half gives you more layers and makes them easier to eat.
03 - This is a super budget-friendly meal that uses simple, cheap ingredients.
04 - Perfect for picky eaters - most kids love anything cheeseburger flavored!
05 - You can customize with your favorite burger toppings like bacon, jalapeños, or different cheeses.
06 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
