Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook ground beef, chopped onions, and chopped green chilies until meat is browned and onions are translucent.
- Drain off excess fat from the meat mixture.
- Add cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and diced Ro-Tel tomatoes to the meat mixture. Stir to combine.
- Flatten the biscuit dough and place each biscuit in a sprayed cupcake pan.
- Spoon the meat mixture into each biscuit cup.
- Optional: top with cheese before baking.
- Bake at 375°F until biscuits are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. You can also use leftover roasted chicken in place of the beef. If you prefer a spicier kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the meat mixture. Ensure the biscuit cups are well greased to prevent sticking, and feel free to experiment by adding your favorite herbs or spices.
Serving Suggestions
These beef pies are perfect as a hearty snack or main dish. Serve them alongside a fresh garden salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with a side of dipping sauces like ranch or salsa for added flavor. For a fun twist, consider serving them with a side of Chicken And Stove Top Dressing Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover beef pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them, but the oven will help keep the biscuits crispy.
