Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix, water, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until just combined. Do not overmix. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is fully browned and the onion is softened. Drain excess grease.

5. Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough on top of the meat mixture, spacing them evenly to form 5–6 biscuits.
7. Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
8. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the Cheddar Bay garlic herb seasoning. Brush generously over the hot biscuits.
9. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
