FAQs
Can I make this ahead for Mother’s Day?
Yes, you can prepare the beef mixture a day ahead and store it in the fridge. When you are ready to bake, stuff the biscuits and assemble the dish. This makes it one of my favorite ground hamburger recipes for special days because it saves time and still feels homemade. Bake it fresh so the biscuits stay fluffy and golden.
What are other things to make with ground beef?
There are so many things to make with ground beef. You can turn it into tacos, pasta sauce, meatballs, or simple skillet meals. If you are looking for lazy dinners, casseroles and one pan bakes are always a smart choice. Ground beef is budget friendly and easy to season, which is why I always keep some in the freezer.
Can I freeze this bake?
You can freeze the cooked beef mixture, but I do not suggest freezing the fully baked biscuits. The texture is best when baked fresh. For best results, freeze only the filling, then thaw and assemble with fresh biscuit dough when ready to bake. This keeps it tasting like one of your best easy meals with ground beef.
How do I know when the biscuits are fully cooked?
The tops should be golden brown and firm to the touch. You can gently pull one apart to check that the inside is no longer doughy. If needed, bake for an extra 3 to 5 minutes. Every oven is a little different, so trust your eyes and your nose. When it smells like a cheeseburger and fresh bread, you are close.
