Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet; remove from pan.

- Combine cooked meat, sautéed vegetables, cream of celery soup, and milk in a 2-quart baking dish.
- Place biscuits on top of the mixture, covering it completely.
- Dot with butter.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use lean ground beef to avoid excess grease. You can substitute the cream of celery soup with cream of mushroom or even a homemade white sauce for a different flavor. If you prefer a bit of spice, add some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the sautéed onions and green peppers. This dish pairs well with a side of salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish hot from the oven with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Grandma'S Spicy Beans for a hearty dinner. For an extra touch, consider sprinkling some shredded cheese on top of the biscuits during the last few minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a baking dish and cover with foil to prevent drying out. Heat in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 20-25 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions for a quicker option.
