Biscuit Topped Beef Pot Pie and National Biscuit Month
Beef Pot Pie Topped with Cheddar Onion Biscuits is a Riff on Chicken Pot Pie
I have fond memories of seeing the kitchen counter covered in flour and my Mom rolling and cutting biscuits for our meal. There was always butter and a variety of jellies and jams, and in the Summer fresh from the garden sliced tomatoes to dress our biscuits. Biscuits here in the South tend to be more savory but, sweet biscuits or scones, are popular too. They're delectable. Homemade cheddar-onion drop biscuits make the perfect topping for this hearty beef pot pie. It's a one dish meal packed with the kind of comfort that's sure to please your hungry eaters.

Beef Pot Pie with Cheddar Onion Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 lb extra lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 small green bell seeded and diced
- 1 medium carrot peeled and diced
- 2 medium potatoes bite size cubes
- 3 clove garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- seasoned salt and black pepper
- 2 16 oz cans sloppy joe sauce See Cook's note
- ½ cup beef broth [plus additional as needed to thin]
- 1 cup frozen petite peas
- Cheddar Drop Biscuits:
- 3 cup White Lily self-rising flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ¾ cup cold butter cubed and divided
- 1 cup whole buttermilk
- 2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 green onion finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, over medium-high heat saute the diced onion, carrot and bell pepper in a couple of drizzles of olive oil. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and beginning to brown.
- Add the ground beef and cubed potatoes. Cook until no pink remains in the ground beef, and the potatoes are fork tender, around 12-15 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan, then add the minced garlic, soy sauce, sloppy joe sauce and beef broth. Cook just until heated through.
- Remove from the stovetop and add the frozen peas. Mix well. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- To make the biscuit topping: Sift together the self-rising flour and garlic powder.
- Cut ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp cold butter into the flour until it resembles cornmeal.
- Add the cheddar cheese and diced onion. Toss until combined.
- Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk. Stir through until the dry ingredients are fully moistened.
- Use a 4 oz ice cream scoop to divide the dough into even portions. Arrange on top of the filling. Melt the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and brush the tops.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden, bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through.

Can I make this the night before and put in the fridge for hubs to put in oven while we are driving home? Wondering about the biscuits....
Melissa
You can certainly make the filling in advance, then pop the biscuits on just before going into the oven.
Michelle

Hi Melissa, this recipe sounds awesome and would be a great meal for those cold winter days. My hubby is kind of particular and I know he wouldn't like the Sloppy Joe's. He would prefer a more beefy taste to his pot pie. He won't eat tomatoes in his pot pie, pot roast or beef stew. what do you suggest I use to replace the Sloppy Joe's so he is satisfied and will eat the pot pie? If you could send me a note I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your help.
Melissa
Hi Patsy, I completely understand. I recommend you replace it with the same amount of a different flavored tomato sauce. They make them now for both meatloaf and chili starters. Each has a different flavor variation which you can personalize to your taste. Also, the skillet meal starters from McCormick's might even work. They come in a variety of flavors. I could give you a homemade sauce, and I find it just as simple to make because I usually have the ingredients on hand. For this recipe I was looking for a shortcut to offer to my readers. Please email me at melissa@melissassouthernstylekitchen.com if you'd like the homemade sauce.

Hi April, that's a great question. Yes, use a really good sloppy joe sauce in the flavor of your choice. You can also use an Italian seasoned tomato sauce in the same amount to make it to your taste.

Is sloppy joe sauce just sloppy joe in a can?
