Beef Pot Pie with Cheddar Onion Biscuits Recipe

This country style ground beef pot pie recipe topped with cheese biscuits is the way to my family's heart. It's no secret that biscuits are also known as our number one house bread of the South. I can't remember a single time when my Mom and Gramma's didn't have biscuits on the table to go with our meals. In particular biscuits can be found on the menu for breakfast, however they're also served as the complementary bread at other meals. They also make a tasty biscuit sandwich, if you're so inclined.

How to Make the Best Beef Pot Pie Topped with Biscuits

This easy ground beef casserole is designed to keep the ingredients simple. The sauce can be made completely from scratch, if you prefer.

• Homemade cheddar-onion drop biscuits make the perfect topping for this beef pot pie. They're made from scratch using self rising flour. Self rising flour already has baking powder and salt included in the mix so it's not necessary to add more leavening.
• How do you make your own self-rising flour? For this recipe, use 3 cups all purpose flour adding one tablespoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt. Sift together and proceed with the recipe as written.
• Sloppy joe sauce is a shortcut for this recipe. You can skip the sloppy joe sauce and use a meatloaf seasoned tomato sauce, a chili flavored tomato sauce or Italian flavored pizza sauce, if preferred. This casserole is versatile, you can't go wrong.
• You can adapt the flavor of cheese in the homemade biscuits using what you have on hand or your favorite flavor. Good ole cheddar lends a pleasing flavor there's no need to get too fancy.
• A medium size ice cream scoop makes dividing the biscuit dough super easy and keeps them uniform in shape. You can also use a ¼ cup measuring cup to divide the biscuit dough.
• It's important to keep the biscuits similar size for even baking.
