Why I Love This Recipe
I’m always looking for comfort food that doesn’t require standing over the stove for hours. This bake delivers big flavor with simple steps. The biscuit pieces puff up and “bubble” as they bake, creating pockets of fluffy bread throughout the cheesy beef mixture.
It reminds me of other hearty family-style dinners like This Dorito Casserole Is My Favorite Weeknight Dinner Shortcut and These Chicken Enchiladas Are My Go-To for Cozy, Crowd-Pleasing Dinners—simple, filling meals that everyone gets excited about.
And let’s be honest… anything topped with melted provolone and a drizzle of cheese wiz is going to disappear fast.
Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need:
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 bell peppers, chopped (any color)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2–3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup chicken or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 jumbo 8-count can refrigerated biscuits, cut into quarters
- 1–2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- Cheese wiz, for drizzling
- Salt, pepper, and seasoning of choice (Dan-O’s Premo or your favorite blend)
Ingredient Swaps and Notes
- Ground beef substitute: You can use shaved steak for a more authentic cheesesteak texture, or swap in ground turkey for a lighter option.
- Cheese options: Provolone is classic, but mozzarella or white American cheese also work beautifully.
- Peppers: Mix it up with green, red, and yellow for color and sweetness.
- Broth: Beef broth gives a richer flavor, but chicken broth works perfectly in a pinch.
- Seasoning: Worcestershire adds depth, so don’t skip it. A little smoked paprika or garlic powder can add even more flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion together until browned. Drain excess grease.
Season generously with your preferred seasoning blend.
2. Add the Peppers
Stir in the chopped bell peppers and sauté for a few minutes until slightly softened.
3. Build the Flavor
Add:
- Minced garlic
- Worcestershire sauce
- Broth
- Cornstarch
Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
4. Prep the Biscuits
Cut each biscuit into quarters.
5. Combine Everything
In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Cooked beef mixture
- Biscuit pieces
Mix gently so everything is evenly coated.
6. Assemble
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 baking dish. Spread evenly.
Top with 1–2 cups shredded provolone cheese.
7. Bake
Bake at 350°F for 35–45 minutes.
If the cheese starts browning too much, loosely cover with foil during the last 10–15 minutes.
8. Finish
Drizzle cheese wiz over the top while warm.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for Success
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—spread everything evenly so the biscuits cook through.
- Make sure to cut biscuits into equal pieces for even baking.
- If unsure whether it’s done, insert a knife into the center—biscuits should be fully cooked, not doughy.
- Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so everything sets properly.
