Ingredients**

For the Biscuits:

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish, optional)

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup sautéed onions or mushrooms for added flavor

Instructions**

  1. Preheat Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  1. Prepare Biscuits:
  • Separate each biscuit and gently split each one in half (like opening a sandwich bun).
  • Place half of them, bottom-side down, onto the baking sheet.
  1. Fill the Biscuits:
  • In a bowl, mix the shredded beef, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
  • Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each bottom biscuit half.
  • Top with shredded cheese and optional sautéed onions or mushrooms.
  1. Seal and Top:
  • Place the top halves of the biscuits over the filling and press the edges slightly to seal.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each biscuit.
  1. Bake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 13–16 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  1. Garnish and Serve:
  • Garnish with chopped parsley or chives if desired.
  • Let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Methods & Tips**

  • Beef options: You can use leftover pot roast, beef brisket, or any slow-cooked beef.
  • Cheese ideas: Mix mozzarella with provolone, cheddar, or even a touch of parmesan for extra flavor.
