How to Make Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Split each biscuit in half and place the bottom halves into a greased baking dish. Bake for about 5 minutes so they begin to set and won’t turn soggy later.

Step 2: Cook the Beef Mixture

Chop the onion and sauté it in a skillet for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or your favorite seasoning, and cook until browned. Drain excess grease.

Step 3: Layer the Filling

Remove the partially baked biscuits and spread the beef mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the beef.

Step 4: Add the Tops

Place the remaining raw biscuit halves directly over the cheese. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm on their own or with ketchup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, or any burger-inspired toppings your family loves.

Helpful Notes

Tips for Best Results

Regular homestyle biscuits work best because they split evenly. Make sure your beef is fully drained so the biscuits stay flaky. If reheating leftovers, warm them in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned biscuits other than Pillsbury?

Yes, most canned biscuit brands work well. Just choose a regular-size biscuit instead of jumbo so they bake evenly and fit nicely in the dish.

How can I make this recipe even cheesier?

You can mix cheese directly into the cooked beef, sprinkle extra cheese between the layers, or add a final handful on top before serving. It melts beautifully into every bite.

Can I make this without onions?

Yes, the recipe still works perfectly without onions. You can also swap them for onion powder if you want the flavor without the texture.

What seasoning works best with the beef?

Montreal Steak seasoning is delicious, but garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or even a little Worcestershire sauce add great flavor. Use whatever you enjoy on burgers.

How do I keep the bottom biscuits from getting soggy?

Pre-baking the bottom halves for a few minutes helps them set. Also make sure to drain the beef well so excess grease doesn’t soak into the dough.

Can I add bacon to the recipe?

Yes! Cooked chopped bacon adds a smoky, savory flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheeseburger theme. Mix it into the beef or sprinkle it on top.

Do I need to cover the dish while baking?

No, bake it uncovered. This helps the top biscuits turn golden brown and keeps the cheese nicely melted.

What side dishes go well with this meal?

A simple salad, roasted vegetables, or classic burger sides like fries or coleslaw pair wonderfully with cheeseburger biscuits.

Can I turn this into a full casserole instead of individual biscuits?

Yes, simply cut the biscuits into pieces and layer them casserole-style. The flavor stays the same, and it’s even easier to serve.

How long do leftovers last?

Leftovers stay fresh in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to bring back the biscuit’s crispiness.
