Tender ground beef combines with vegetables in a creamy, savory base while fluffy biscuit dumplings steam to perfection right on top. It’s the kind of hearty, one-skillet meal that brings the whole family to the table on busy weeknights.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound ground beef

    • 1/2 cup chopped onion

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 cup beef broth

    • 1 can cream of mushroom soup

    • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

    • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough

    Directions

    • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
    • Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and garlic fragrant.
    • Pour in the beef broth and cream of mushroom soup, stirring to combine all ingredients in the skillet.
    • Add the frozen mixed vegetables and black pepper, stirring to distribute them evenly within the mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer.
    • Cut each biscuit in half and gently place them on top of the beef mixture, covering the surface evenly.
    • Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. This allows the biscuits to cook thoroughly in the steam.
    • When the biscuits are fully puffed and cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the dish hot in bowls.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Chick-fil-A Just Launched a Chicken and Waffles Sandwich — Plus Two S’mores Drinks

    Sandwiches that combine fried protein, syrup, and butter-based spreads can add up quickly in calories and added sugar, especially when paired with a milkshake-style drink. If you’re ordering something like a chicken and waffles sandwich, consider going light on the syrup, choosing the grilled filet option instead of fried, or splitting a dessert drink with someone else at the table. Pairing a heavier meal with water instead of a second sugary beverage is also an easy way to keep things balanced.

    Crispy Garlic Parmeson Pork Tenderloin

    Pork tenderloin is one of the leanest cuts of meat, comparable to skinless chicken breast in fat content—use part-skim Parmesan and reduce olive oil slightly for an even lighter version without sacrificing that gorgeous golden crust.

    The Whole Fish: Why Cooking It on the Bone Changes Everything

    Fish cooked on the bone retains slightly higher concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids than fish that has been filleted and stored before cooking — because the fat in the flesh adjacent to the bone is protected from oxidation by the bone itself during the period between filleting and cooking. Whole fish also provides the specific opportunity to consume the collar and the cheek — the two portions most consistently identified by fish-eating cultures worldwide as the most flavorful and most fatty, and therefore the most omega-3-rich, parts of the fish.
