Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Biscuit Dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
Beef Filling:
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese for filling
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnish:
  • Fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat Your Oven
  2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). This ensures the biscuits bake quickly and achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
  3. Prepare the Dough
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add Cheese and Buttermilk
  6. Stir 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the flour mixture. Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep your biscuits tender.
  7. Roll Out the Dough
  8. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times. Roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness and cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
  9. Cook the Beef Filling
  10. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef and diced onions until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then drain any excess fat. Stir in the BBQ sauce and remove from heat.
  11. Assemble the Biscuits
  12. Place a tablespoon of the beef mixture and a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of each biscuit circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
  13. Bake
  14. Arrange the stuffed biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  15. Garnish and Serve
  16. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy, beef-filled biscuits!

Notes

  • Keep the Butter Cold: Cold butter is key to creating flaky biscuits. If the butter starts to soften, chill the dough for a few minutes before rolling it out.
  • Don’t Overfill: Avoid overloading the biscuits with filling, as it may cause them to burst open while baking.
  • Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • Freeze for Later: Assemble the biscuits, freeze them unbaked, and bake them straight from frozen when you’re ready. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
