Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits Bake

Chopped cheeseburger biscuits make a filling and comforting dinner that combines the flavors of a classic cheeseburger with the soft pillowy texture of biscuits. Using simple pantry staples and ready-made biscuit dough helps keep this dish quick and approachable for busy weeknights. The method of pre-baking the biscuit bases ensures a crisp bottom, while the final bake melts cheesy goodness into every bite. This recipe is a great way to satisfy kids and adults alike without much fuss or cleanup.

I first made these biscuits when my kids were reluctant to eat ground beef, and now they cheer every time I put this on the table. The smell fills the house like a diner, and it's always a hit.

Ingredients

• Ground beef: one pound brings rich savory flavor choose eighty five percent lean for juiciness
• Pillsbury biscuits: one eight count tube create soft layers use original flavor for the best texture
• Shredded cheddar cheese: one cup adds melty, sharp goodness sharp cheddar gives an extra punch
• Small onion: chopped provides sweetness and aroma pick firm onions that are free from blemishes
• Seasoning: to taste I use Montreal steak blend for a peppery kick but any burger seasoning works choose your favorite mix

Instructions

Prepare the Baking Dish:

Preheat your oven to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a glass or ceramic baking dish using oil or nonstick spray. A dish about seven by nine inches works well but a nine by eleven can be used for thinner biscuit layers.

Parbake the Biscuit Bottoms:

Separate each biscuit in half to create thinner layers and arrange the bottom halves evenly across the base of your baking dish. Bake them for five minutes to give the bottoms a head start and avoid sogginess later.

Sauté the Aromatics:

While the biscuit bottoms bake, heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook gently for five minutes stirring often until the onions soften and turn translucent without browning too quickly.

Brown the Beef:

Add the ground beef to the softened onion and use a wooden spoon to break it apart. Cook until the beef loses its pink color and develops some browned spots for deeper flavor. Drain any excess grease so the biscuits stay crisp.

Season the Filling:

Sprinkle in your chosen seasoning blend and stir well so the flavors distribute evenly. Taste the beef mixture and adjust it with salt or additional spices if needed.

Assemble the Biscuits:

Remove the baking dish from the oven with the partially baked biscuit bottoms. Spread the warm beef and onion mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese all over so every bite will have melting cheese. Top with the remaining biscuit halves pressing gently into the filling.

Bake to Golden Perfection:

Put the dish back into the oven and bake for another twenty to twenty five minutes until the biscuit tops turn golden brown and the cheese bubbles around the edges. Check around twenty minutes to avoid overbaking.

Serve and Enjoy:

Let the bake cool for a few minutes before serving. I like to provide small bowls of ketchup, pickles, or burger sauce on the side so everyone can dress their biscuits just like a cheeseburger.

My favorite bites are always the edge pieces where the cheese crisps up against the dish. This smell takes me back to weekend dinners with my family where we would compete for the cheesiest slice.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage wrap them tight and freeze for up to one month. When reheating, the oven or toaster oven works best to keep the biscuit tops crisp. Microwaving softens the texture but works in a pinch.

Ingredient Substitutions

Try ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. Swap cheddar for part-skim mozzarella or a cheese blend for a different flavor. Red onion, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms are great additions if you want extra veggies. If you do not have Pillsbury, any similar canned or frozen biscuit dough can be used.

Serving Suggestions

Serve as a complete meal on its own or with a fresh green salad to balance richness. Cut into smaller squares and offer as party appetizers with dipping sauces. For an extra cheeseburger vibe, add shredded lettuce, tomatoes, or pickled jalapeños on the side.

These chopped cheeseburger biscuits are easy to make and crowd pleasing. Serve warm and let everyone add condiments to taste.
