Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Ground Beef: Use lean ground beef for a healthier option while still ensuring plenty of flavor.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds an irresistible flavor; feel free to use your favorite kind!
  • All-Purpose Flour: Essential for thickening the filling and creating that perfect biscuit texture.
  • Baking Powder: This helps those biscuits rise beautifully; make sure it’s fresh for best results.
  • Herbs and Spices: A mix of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper creates depth in flavor.
  • Vegetables (Carrots, Peas): These add color and nutrition; frozen veggies work just as well!
  • Beef Broth: It infuses the filling with rich flavor; low-sodium options can keep it lighter.
  • Milk: Use whole milk for creaminess in the biscuit topping; no skim milk here!

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Sauté Your Aromatics and Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add some oil and sauté chopped onions until translucent before adding ground beef until browned.

Add Vegetables and Broth: Stir in carrots and peas along with beef broth; simmer until heated through and flavors meld together beautifully.

Create Your Biscuit Topping Mixture: In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cheese, salt, milk, and melted butter until just mixed; avoid overmixing!

Assemble the Dish: Pour your savory meat mixture into the baking dish then dollop spoonfuls of biscuit batter evenly on top for that signature cobbler look.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Place in preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Now you have created a delicious Cheddar Bay Ground Beef Cobbler that is sure to impress! Enjoy every bite!
