A hearty and delicious casserole featuring seasoned ground beef and a golden biscuit topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the biscuits.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, milk, ketchup, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Use a whisk for a smoother consistency.
Add the cooked beef mixture to the sauce and stir until well combined.
Ensure the beef is evenly coated with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Place the biscuits on top of the beef mixture, spacing them evenly.
Leave some space between the biscuits for them to expand while baking.
Bake the casserole uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Check the biscuits for doneness by tapping them lightly; they should sound hollow.
Serve the casserole hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh parsley or chives make a great garnish for added color and flavor.
