Ingredients
Scale
FOR THE CASSEROLE:
2lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
10oz Rotel (diced tomato with green chile)
8oz tomato sauce
1 cup beer or chicken stock
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
8oz mixed frozen vegetables
29oz cooked pinto beans
salt to taste
FOR THE BISCUIT CRUST:
1.5 cup plain flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
4oz butter
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 jalapeno, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Brown the beef in batches, seasoning with salt as you cook, then set aside.
- Add oil to a large heavy based pot. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add in garlic powder and cumin, and return beef to the pot.
- Pour in Rotel, tomato sauce, beer (or stock) Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in frozen vegetables and beans.
- In a bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper and baking powder, then cut the butter in using a pastry cutter. You can also do this step in a food processor. Add the milk and stir until just combined, then add the cheddar and jalapenos and stir a few more times until distributed evenly, but do not overwork the dough.
- Pour the meat mixture into a deep casserole dish. Use a cookie scoop to spoon the biscuit mix on top. The biscuits will spread out as they cook so leave room in between.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
