Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 6-8 freshly baked biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing the biscuits)
- Optional toppings: Lettuce, tomato, pickles, or any other favorites
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, and let the beef mixture cook for another 2 minutes to absorb the spices. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Biscuits: If you’re using store-bought biscuits, bake them according to the package instructions. If you’re making homemade biscuits, prepare and bake them ahead of time. Once baked, let them cool slightly before cutting them in half.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the biscuits in half and brush the cut sides with melted butter. Place a generous amount of the cooked beef mixture on the bottom half of each biscuit, then top with shredded cheese. Place the top biscuit half over the cheese.
- Optional: Melt the Cheese: If you prefer melted cheese, you can place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and pop them under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches warm with your choice of additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles.
Enjoy these savory, cheesy beef-filled sandwiches as a satisfying meal at any time of day!
