Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 cup Canned diced tomatoes, drained
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 package (16.3 ounces) Canned refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it’s fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4

Stir in the barbecue sauce, drained diced tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.

Step 5

Transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Step 6

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture.

Step 7

Cut each piece of biscuit dough into quarters and arrange the pieces over the cheese in an even layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the biscuit layer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
