Ingredients:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated flaky layers biscuits
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook without stirring for 3 minutes to develop a dark, caramelized crust.
  2. Stir in the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and smells nutty.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the meat and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking or stirring vigorously to prevent lumps.
  5. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  6. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce reaches a velvety consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Pour the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  9. Place biscuits on top, leaving ½ inch of space between each.
  10. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
  11. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuit peaks are mahogany-colored and the gravy is bubbling around the edges.
