With the help of Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Biscuits, anything can become a casserole. In this tried-and-true weeknight dinner, we took our favorite protein (ground beef) and combined it with pantry-friendly ingredients and of course, lots of cheese. Takeout doesn’t stand a chance next to this ready-in-30 meal.

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!
