Ingredients for Savory Beef Breakfast Skillet with Cheesy Herb Biscuits

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will allow the biscuits to bake evenly and develop a nice golden crust.
  2. 2 In a large ovenproof skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish balanced and flavorful.
  3. 3 Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  4. 4 Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. 5 Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. 6 Stir in the milk and dried herbs until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring the dough is not overworked for tender biscuits.
  7. 7 Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the beef mixture in the skillet, covering the surface evenly. Place the skillet in the preheated oven.
  8. 8 Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. Allow the skillet to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • This Savory Beef Breakfast Skillet is a meal in itself, but if you're looking to elevate your breakfast spread, consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad for a hint of sweetness. A dollop of sour cream on top of each serving can add a creamy contrast to the dish's richness. For beverages, pair this breakfast indulgence with a steaming cup of bold, dark roast coffee or a frothy cappuccino to complement the robust flavors. Alternatively, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice can provide a refreshing citrusy balance.

Storage Tips

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place a serving in a microwave-safe dish and heat on medium power until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to retain the biscuit's crispness.
