Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 can biscuits (12) (recommended: Grands)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup beef stock
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 tablespoon granulated garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated onion powder
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Spray a 12-count muffin pan with cooking spray. Mold biscuits to the shape of each muffin cup. Par-bake biscuits for 6 to 8 minutes until light golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and brown. Stir in the onions, salt, pepper and garlic and allow to cook together for a couple of minutes.
Mix flour into the meat mixture and stir until a paste consistency is reached. Add beef stock to pan and stir in vegetables and herbs, the last few minutes, until combined.
Reheat mashed potatoes in a microwave for 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in granulated garlic and onion powder.
Spoon equal amounts (approximately 2 tablespoons) of warm potatoes on the bottoms of each par-baked biscuit. Then top with equal amounts of beef mixture (approximately 2 tablespoons). Finally top with equal amounts of Cheddar. Return to oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is melted and browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before popping individual pies out with a knife.

I love the straight version for a quick, easy meal, but with a little heat they also make tasty appetizers. I'm planning on bringing a batch to a Super Bowl party instead of sliders. I'll just kick'em up with some crushed red pepper or Mexican hot sauce. And I might throw some diced poblano chiles into the potatoes- which I place on top as is traditional. (I miss me Big Daddy! :-(

Solid recipe, but the seasoning on the potatoes was ridiculous... and I say that as a smoker with dulled taste buds. Two tablespoons of onion powder and one of garlic powder in a cup and a half of potatoes?!? No. I feel like a fool. We discussed the fact that we have NEVER put that much of either powder into anything... but, hey, the recipe said so, right? Ugh. That's why I distrust online recipes - typos. I am convinced it should have been teaspoons. That amount of seasoning on those potatoes taints the entire dish. Adjust that, and you should be fine, and this review would have gotten four stars.
