Ground Beef Cobbler
Description
The Ground Beef Cobbler recipe consists of browned ground beef layered over melted butter in a casserole dish, topped evenly with frozen mixed vegetables. A cheddar bay biscuit mix blended with milk creates a thick batter poured atop the meat and veggies, providing a biscuit-style topping. To add moisture and additional flavor, a mixture of cream of chicken soup and chicken broth is poured gently over the entire dish without mixing, allowing it to bake into a bubbling, tender casserole. The dish is baked at 400˚F for 40 to 50 minutes until the edges bubble and the biscuit topping begins to brown, then rested briefly before serving.
The final texture balances the savory, meaty filling with a soft and slightly crumbly biscuit crust enriched with cheddar flavor. This layered casserole suits a filling family meal and can be customized with ground turkey or different vegetables depending on preference or availability.
Storage tips include refrigerating leftovers in airtight containers for 3 to 4 days and freezing portions for up to a month. When reheating, thaw in the refrigerator and warm in a 350˚F oven until heated through. For larger quantities, it’s best to prepare in batches using multiple casserole dishes.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds ground beef lean
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 box cheddar bay biscuit mix (11.36 ounce)
- 2 cups milk
- 12 ounces mixed vegetables frozen
- 1 cup chicken broth or beef broth
- 10.5 ounce cream of chicken soup (1 can)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- Brown the ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain an excess liquid or fat.
- Spread the melted butter over the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Place the ground beef and frozen vegetables evenly over the butter.
- Whisk together the biscuit mix, including the spice packet, and 2 cups of milk. There may still be some lumps, that is okay. Pour the mixture over the beef and veggies. Do not mix.
- Whisk together the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Pour mixture over the casserole. Do not mix.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the sides are bubbling and the top starts to brown. Let sit 5-15 minutes to set, then serve.
Notes
- Ground turkey may replace ground beef as a leaner option.
- Use any frozen vegetable mix and substitute beef broth if preferred over chicken broth.
- Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to a month.
- Reheat thawed portions in a 350°F oven until warmed through for even heating.
- Prepare in batches with separate casserole dishes to scale this recipe for larger groups.
