Cheddar Bay Beef Cobbler

Step-by-step instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to prepare your Cheddar Bay Beef Cobbler:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet with the diced onion and minced garlic over medium heat. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.
Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Pour the beef mixture into a baking dish.
Mix the biscuit mix with the milk in a separate bowl until well combined.
Spoon the biscuit mixture generously over the beef in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Best ways to enjoy it

Cheddar Bay Beef Cobbler is a complete meal on its own, but if you’re looking to elevate your dining experience, consider pairing it with a light salad dressed with vinaigrette. Garlic bread also makes a fantastic companion, allowing you to soak up any leftover delicious juices from your cobbler. For a refreshing touch, serve some pickled vegetables or coleslaw on the side.

Storage and reheating tips

If you have leftovers (which is likely since this dish is so hearty), storing them is simple! Allow the cobbler to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. You can also freeze individual portions for up to three months. Just be sure to label the containers, so you know what deliciousness awaits!

Helpful cooking tips

Here are a few tips to help you make this dish even better:

For added richness, stir in a tablespoon of butter to the beef mixture before pouring it into the baking dish.
Consider using sharp cheddar cheese for a stronger flavor profile.
If you want a bit of spice, add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the beef mixture!
Ensure that your biscuit mix is fresh for the best rise on your biscuits.

Creative twists

Want to change things up a bit? Here are some fun variations to try:

Swap out the lean ground beef for shredded chicken or ground turkey for a lighter option.
Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or bell peppers to the beef filling for extra nutrition and color.
Try mixing different cheeses; Monterey Jack or pepper jack can add a delightful twist.
For an Italian flair, mix in some Italian seasoning or a dash of marinara sauce with the beef.
