Ingredients

For 8 Cheesy Beef Biscuit Sandwiches, you will need:

  • 1 pound ground beef (lean works best)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra depth)

  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for a mild kick)

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend of choice)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits) – or homemade biscuits if preferred

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley or Italian seasoning (for garnish)

Optional Toppings:

  • Sliced pickles

  • Jalapeños

  • Mustard or ketchup

  • Caramelized onions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it begins to brown. Break it apart with a wooden spoon so it cooks evenly. Once the beef has started to release its juices, add the chopped onion and cook until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chili flakes if using. Drizzle in the Worcestershire sauce to enhance the savory flavor. Reduce the heat to low and let the beef mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Add the Cheese

While the beef is still warm, stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. The residual heat will start melting the cheese, creating a rich, creamy filling that binds everything together. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuits

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Open the biscuit dough and separate it into 8 biscuits. Using your hands, gently flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4–5 inches wide. This gives you enough space to add the beef mixture without it spilling out.

Step 4: Fill and Seal the Sandwiches

Place about 2–3 tablespoons of the cheesy beef mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal. You can shape them into half-moon pockets or round sealed pouches. Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Brush and Bake

Brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter, then sprinkle lightly with dried parsley or Italian seasoning. This not only adds flavor but also gives the biscuits a golden, glossy finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown. The cheese inside will be gooey, and the beef filling will be hot and savory.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Let the sandwiches cool slightly before serving. Pair them with a side salad, fries, or even a bowl of soup for a complete meal. These sandwiches are also excellent for lunchboxes or reheated as a quick snack.

Tips and Variations

  1. Cheese Options: Swap in pepper jack, gouda, or provolone for a different flavor profile.

  2. Add Veggies: You can mix in diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach with the beef for added nutrition.

  3. Make Ahead: Prepare the beef and cheese filling ahead of time, refrigerate, and assemble the sandwiches just before baking.

  4. Dipping Sauces: Serve with marinara, ranch, or honey mustard for dipping.

  5. Spicy Twist: Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling for an extra kick.
