1

Heat the oven to 350°F.

Split the biscuits in half, arranging the bottom halves on a baking sheet. Set aside the other halves. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes and set aside. While in the oven, combine the tomato and chopped garlic in a hot frying pan at medium heat. Add the celery and ground beef and stir to combine all ingredients.

When the meat is golden, add the tomato sauce or paste, sliced olives, capers and salt and pepper to taste.

Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the dough is cooked.

Serve hot.

More About This Recipe

When I want my daughter to eat vegetables without making a fuss, I simply prepare a meat or chicken hot dish, camouflaging the veggies in the filling. She’s so occupied with the melted cheese that she pays less attention to the good stuff it's covering. I use different ingredients each time I pull out this recipe. I have substituted the celery for carrots, and on other occasions I have swapped the beef out for chicken. The sabor is just as rico, and the meal equally wholesome. No one will believe the dish is ready in less than 30 minutes once they've seen the elaborate presentation. This hearty casserole is a great way to spoil your family!
