Week 26: Recipe #5--Cheeseburger Skillet Pie

This meal was quick to throw together and tasty, too.  This comes from realsimple.com (see link below).  It also came with a tomato salad, but I left that out.  We had corn with it instead.  I didn't have an oven-safe skillet, so I transferred the meat mixture into a casserole dish and then put it in the oven.  Came out just fine.  Makes 4 servings.

You'll Need:

• 4 Tblsp. olive oil
• 1 med. onion, chopped
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 can (14.5 oz.) diced fire-roasted tomatoes with green chiles
• 1 1/2 c. biscuit mix, plus required ingredients (I used about 1 1/2 c. Bisquick and about 1/2 c. milk)
• 4 oz. cheddar cheese, grated

Preparation:

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.  Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over med-high heat.  Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, 6 to 7 minutes.  Add the beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes.  Add the canned tomatoes (with their juices) and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes more.
2. Prepare the biscuit mix according to the package directions.  Drop 8 mounds of the dough onto the meat mixture in the skillet and sprinkle with the cheddar.  Bake until the biscuits are golden and cooked through, 18 to 22 minutes.
