Growing up, we made a similar recipe that we always liked. I've modified it heavily over the years, and people love it! It is kid friendly, and adults will love it too. The cost is less than a dollar per serving, and many of the ingredients are popular coupon items. Ingredients:
1 (10 count) can refrigerated biscuits (flaky is best) |
1 lb ground beef |
1 (28 ounce) can bush's baked beans (with onions is best) |
1 cup barbecue sauce |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375° Fahrenheit.
2. Brown ground beef and drain. Add salt/pepper or any desired spices.
3. While beef is cooking, cook the baked beans, bbq sauce, brown sugar, and a handful of the cheese in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When beef is browned and drained, add to mixture. Continue to warm until oven is preheated and mixture seems warm and blended. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
4. Transfer mixture to a 16x9 casserole dish.
5. Separate biscuits horizontally (producing thinner circles of dough), and layer over the mixture until mostly covered. If the biscuits do not flake apart, you can roll out the dough as well.
6. Bake dish until biscuits are lightly golden brown, usually 15-25 minutes. When biscuits are lightly golden, spread cheese evenly over the biscuits, and continue to bake until cheese is melted. Remove, let cheese cool, and serve.
