Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)

Biscuit Topping

  • 2 cups puffy biscuit mix
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef Filling: Brown the lean ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. When nearly cooked through, add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook until warmed throughout.
  2. Create the Savory Base: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the filling thicken slightly.
  3. Assemble the Cobbler: Transfer the beef mixture into a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top to create a rich, cheesy layer beneath the biscuit topping.
  4. Make the Biscuit Topping: In a bowl, combine the puffy biscuit mix with milk and melted butter. Fold in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder until just incorporated. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough across the beef mixture, spacing evenly to cover the surface with small mounds.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use lean beef to avoid excess grease and sogginess.
  • Do not overmix the biscuit dough to keep topping fluffy and tender.
  • Leave small gaps between biscuit dollops to allow even heat circulation during baking.
  • Grate fresh cheddar cheese for best melting and flavor; avoid pre-shredded cheese.
  • Allow the cobbler to rest for 10 minutes after baking for easier slicing and enhanced flavor melding.
