Ingredients

Scale

1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced small
1 cup fresh or frozen green beans, chopped
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
1 packet (about 1.5 oz) dry beef gravy mix
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 can (16 oz) large flaky canned biscuits
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon (5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease if necessary, leaving about a tablespoon. Season with salt and pepper.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add onions and carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in green beans. Pour in beef broth and sprinkle dry gravy mix over the mixture. Stir well to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Separate canned biscuits and place them on top of the beef and vegetable mixture. Do not press them down.
Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling.
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure the skillet is oven-safe. If using thin pans, be careful not to burn the bottom. Let the cobbler rest for 5 minutes to allow the gravy to set. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free gravy mix and biscuits. For dairy-free, use olive oil and dairy-free biscuits.
