This recipe draws from popular versions using refrigerated biscuits, ground beef, and classic condiments like ketchup and mustard for that authentic cheeseburger profile.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) ground beef (lean preferred to reduce grease)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark for a touch of sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (or Dijon for extra tang)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small onion, finely diced (optional, for added flavor depth)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tubes (10-1/2 ounces each) large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands, yielding about 16-20 cups depending on brand)
- 1/2 to 1 cup cubed Velveeta cheese or shredded cheddar (Velveeta melts creamiest; about 4-8 oz total)
- Optional add-ins: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, diced pickles for garnish, or chopped bacon
- Fresh parsley or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
These ingredients create a balanced filling that’s not too saucy but flavorful and moist.
