How to Make Slow Cooker Beef and Biscuit Bake
1. Brown the ground beef
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until completely browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Drain any excess grease before continuing.
2. Make the creamy beef filling
Transfer the cooked ground beef to your slow cooker. Add the condensed cream of mushroom soup and frozen mixed vegetables.
Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined. Add the optional garlic powder, black pepper, or thyme if desired.
3. Add the biscuits
Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and arrange the biscuit pieces in a single layer over the beef mixture.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for about 1½ to 2 hours, or until the filling is hot and bubbling and the biscuits are fully cooked.
4. Let it rest
Turn off the slow cooker and allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes.
Serve the creamy beef and vegetable filling with the warm biscuits on top.
Helpful Tips
Check the biscuits carefully: Slow cookers can vary in temperature. A biscuit may look golden or cooked on top while remaining doughy inside. Test the center with a small knife before serving.
Grease the slow cooker: A light coating of cooking spray can make cleanup easier and help prevent the filling from sticking around the edges.
Season to taste: The condensed soup provides plenty of savory flavor, but garlic powder, black pepper, and dried thyme can make the dish taste even richer.
Try another condensed soup: Cream of chicken or cream of celery can replace the cream of mushroom soup if that’s what you have available.
Make it more filling: Serve the beef and biscuit bake with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, green beans, or a crisp side salad.
What to Serve With Beef and Biscuit Bake
Because this casserole is rich and creamy, fresh or lightly cooked vegetables make excellent side dishes. Try it with:
- Steamed green beans
- Buttered peas
- Roasted carrots
- Simple green salad
- Steamed broccoli
- Applesauce
For an especially cozy fall dinner, pair it with roasted vegetables and a simple fruit side.
Storage and Reheating
Allow leftovers to cool before transferring them to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.
Reheat individual portions in the microwave until heated through, or warm larger portions in the oven. Keep in mind that the biscuits are best when freshly cooked and may soften after refrigeration.
