Instructions
- Brown ground chuck well; drain all fat.
- Stir together vegetables, brown gravy mix, water, and Mrs. Dash with the meat in a shallow casserole dish (11 x 13 inches).
- Cut biscuits into fourths and place on top of the meat mixture.
- Push down slightly to coat with gravy; biscuits will rise back up as they bake.
- Bake at 400°F for about 10 minutes, or until biscuits are browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, try adding diced onions or bell peppers when browning the ground chuck. You can substitute the mixed vegetables with frozen or fresh veggies like green beans or corn. If you prefer a lighter dish, use ground turkey instead of ground chuck. Serve with a side of Syl'S Catsup Salad Dressing for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
This hearty casserole is perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner. Serve it alongside a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It also pairs beautifully with Baked Banana Peppers for a delightful contrast in flavors. For an extra treat, consider serving with a slice of Easy Triple Fudge Cake for dessert.
