Cheeseburger Casserole

This is one of those great old recipes from a church cookbook. Those cookbooks always seem to have good, made from scratch recipes and tons of good casserole recipes. It is really cold here right now so the weather is perfect for a good ole casserole. I had all the ingredients on hand for this dish and it was actually pretty simple to make.

Cheeseburger Casserole From Country Cooking

1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 can (10 oz) tomato soup
1 cup (8 oz) peas, drained (I used frozen)
salt and pepper
8 cubes (3/4") cheese (I used shredded)
1 cup sifted flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 T shortening
1/3 cup plus 1 T milk

Brown the ground beef and onions in a skillet. Drain off fat. Add tomato soup and peas. Salt and pepper to taste. Put mixture into a 1 1/2 qt greased baking dish.
Make cheese filled biscuits: In mixing bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut shortening until particles are fine. Add milk. Stir until dough clings together. Knead dough on slightly floured board 12 times. Divide dough into 8 pieces. Mold dough around cheese cubes. Place on casserole. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes until a deep golden brown. Serves 4.
