Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• ¼ cup chopped green pepper
• 1 (15.5 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
• 1 (4 ounce) jar mushroom pieces and stems, drained
• 1 tablespoon dry onion soup mix
• 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated flaky biscuit dough
• 10 (1/2 inch) cubes Cheddar cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine ground beef and green bell pepper in a large skillet; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add red kidney beans, pizza sauce, mushrooms, onion soup mix, and garlic powder; cook and stir until hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour beef mixture into a 9x12-inch baking dish.

Step 4

Separate biscuit dough into 10 pieces. Place 1 cube Cheddar cheese in the center of each piece; fold up dough to cover cheese completely. Arrange dough pieces over beef mixture in the baking dish.

Step 5

Brush each piece of dough with butter; sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.
