Cheddar Biscuit Beef Pot Pie Bake
You know those dinners that feel like a warm blanket? The kind that makes the whole house smell amazing and instantly calms the mood the second you pull it from the oven? This Cheddar Biscuit Beef Pot Pie Bake is exactly that.
It has all the cozy comfort of a classic pot pie—savory beef, tender veggies, a rich, flavorful gravy—without the fuss of rolling pastry. Instead, you top it with fluffy cheddar biscuits that bake up golden and slightly crisp on the edges, with that soft, steamy, cheesy middle that practically begs for a spoon.
It’s perfect for chilly evenings, busy weeknights when you still want something homey, or Sundays when you want dinner to feel a little special without a ton of effort. And when you dig in? You get that satisfying mix of saucy filling and buttery biscuit in every bite—warm, savory, and deeply comforting.
Ingredients
Beef Pot Pie Filling
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, peas)
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Cheddar Biscuit Topping
2 cups biscuit baking mix (such as Bisquick)
⅔ cup milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat and prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish so nothing sticks and cleanup stays easy.
2. Cook the onion and garlic
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened and starting to turn slightly golden.
Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. You’ll smell it right away—that cozy, savory aroma that tells you something good is coming.
3. Brown the beef
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up as it cooks. Once it’s fully browned, drain off excess grease if needed.
4. Build that rich filling
Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, paprika, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Let it cook for a minute so the flavors wake up.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables and pour in the beef broth. Stir well, then let it simmer for 5–7 minutes. You’re looking for the filling to thicken slightly—like a cozy, spoonable gravy that clings to the meat and veggies.
5. Transfer to the baking dish
Pour the beef and vegetable mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly so every scoop gets a bit of everything.
6. Mix the biscuit topping
In a mixing bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, and shredded cheddar. Stir until just combined. It’ll look a little lumpy, and that’s okay—don’t overmix. Overmixing makes biscuits tough, and we want fluffy.
7. Top it like a pot pie blanket
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit mixture over the filling, spacing them out so they cover most of the surface. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Those little gaps let steam escape and help the biscuits bake up beautifully.
8. Bake until golden
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. The filling should be bubbling around the edges like it’s happily simmering away under that cheesy topping.
9. Finish and serve
Brush the biscuit tops with melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven. That’s the “bakery-style” touch that makes them glossy and irresistible.
Sprinkle with parsley if you’d like, then let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. It thickens up slightly and scoops more cleanly.
Presentation
For a pretty, cozy serving moment, scoop it into wide bowls so you can see the layers—savory beef filling on the bottom and that golden cheddar biscuit on top. A little extra parsley adds a fresh pop of color, and if you want to lean into the comfort-food vibe, serve it with something simple like a crisp side salad or roasted green beans.
If you’re bringing it to the table family-style, set the baking dish on a trivet and serve straight from the pan while it’s still bubbling. That “fresh from the oven” look is part of the charm.
