Preparation Phase & Tools to Use

To bring this recipe to life with ease and flavor, here are the essential kitchen tools you’ll need:

Skillet or Frying Pan: A good nonstick skillet is key for browning the ground beef evenly without sticking. It helps lock in the flavor and gets those crispy edges that add texture.
Mixing Bowl: You’ll need this for stirring the meat with any additional seasoning or cheese. A medium-sized one works well.
9×13 Baking Dish: This is the perfect size to layer the biscuit dough and filling. It ensures even baking and golden edges.

Spatula or Wooden Spoon: For breaking up the beef while cooking and for spreading it evenly over the biscuit layer.
Oven: The magic happens in the oven. Baking the layers transforms this dish into a cohesive, melty masterpiece.
Sharp Knife or Bench Scraper: Helps with slicing into neat, square portions for serving.

With these tools, the process is simple, and the results are reliably delicious.

Ingredients for the Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits

Each ingredient in this recipe is chosen to mimic your favorite cheeseburger, but with the ease of a bake-and-serve casserole.

Ground Beef: The heart of the recipe. Juicy, flavorful, and protein-packed. It gives the dish that classic burger taste.

Yellow Onion: Adds a touch of sweetness and depth. A burger without onions? Never.
Garlic Powder: A simple seasoning that enhances the meat without overpowering it.
Salt & Black Pepper: Essential for balancing flavors.

Worcestershire Sauce: Adds that umami richness that makes the beef taste more complex.
Cheddar Cheese: Melts into gooey perfection and brings that sharp, creamy layer you’d expect from a cheeseburger.
Refrigerated Biscuit Dough: A buttery, fluffy shortcut that becomes your top and bottom bun.

Butter (optional): For brushing the top to get that golden brown shine and added flavor.

How To Make the Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits

Step 1: Brown the Beef and Onion

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2: Season the Mixture

Add garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat everything evenly and let it simmer for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavor.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Layers

Open one can of biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit slightly. Press them into the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish to form a crust. Make sure the biscuits slightly overlap.

Step 4: Add the Filling

Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the biscuit layer. Sprinkle cheddar cheese generously on top.

Step 5: Top it Off

Use the second can of biscuit dough and gently layer the flattened biscuits over the meat and cheese. Brush the tops with melted butter if desired.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.

How to Serve and Store Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits

These biscuit bakes are best served warm, right out of the oven. Pair with pickles, ketchup, or mustard on the side if you want to lean into that classic cheeseburger vibe. A simple green salad or crispy fries round out the meal.

To store, wrap any leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F until warmed through, or pop in the microwave for a quick bite. These also freeze well for up to a month—just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?

Absolutely. Ground turkey is a great leaner option and works just as well with the same seasoning.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble it the night before and bake it fresh the next day. Just keep it covered in the fridge until ready to use.

Do I have to use canned biscuit dough?

Not at all. You can use homemade biscuit dough if you prefer, just make sure it’s rolled thin enough to layer.

Can I add toppings like pickles or bacon?

Yes! Bacon bits or chopped pickles mixed into the beef layer or on top add fun texture and flavor.

What’s the best cheese to use?

Cheddar is classic, but feel free to mix in Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or even pepper jack for a kick.
