Savory Beef and Cheese Biscuit

A savory beef and cheese biscuit sounds delicious! Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

For the biscuit dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for a richer flavor)
For the filling:
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional spices (garlic powder, onion powder).
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and gently stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined.

On a lightly floured surface, turn out the biscuit dough and roll it out into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
Spoon the beef and cheese mixture evenly onto half of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal.
Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds of dough. Press the cutter straight down without twisting to ensure fluffy biscuits.

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Serve warm with extra cheese or a dipping sauce if you like. These biscuits are great as a savory breakfast or a snack!

Enjoy your savory beef and cheese biscuits!
