Tips & Substitutions

This dish is a great way to use up leftover veggies from other meals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh vegetables in place of frozen. Just make sure to chop them into small, even pieces and sauté them briefly with the onion and beef to ensure they cook through during baking.
What can I use if I don't have Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a homemade substitute by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will work just as well in the recipe.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the beef mixture and Bisquick batter ahead of time and assemble it in the baking dish. Cover and refrigerate it overnight. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time when you're ready to cook.
