-
1 pound ground beef
-
1 medium onion, chopped
-
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
-
2 celery stalks, chopped
-
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
-
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
-
1 cup frozen peas
-
1 cup frozen corn
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 (16 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
-
: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
-
: Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
-
: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, frozen peas, frozen corn, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer.
-
: Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
-
: Arrange the biscuit dough on top of the beef mixture. You can leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces for more coverage.
-
: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
-
: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the filling to thicken up a bit.
This casserole is great on its own, but here are a few ideas to round out your meal:
-
: A simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing adds a fresh contrast.

It’s best to freeze the filling separately from the biscuit topping. Prepare the filling and let it cool completely. Then, transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, thaw the filling overnight in the refrigerator. Top with fresh biscuit dough and bake as directed.
-
If the biscuits are browning too quickly, you can tent the casserole with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.

You can use puff pastry, crescent roll dough, or even make a simple biscuit topping from scratch.
