Why You’ll Love This Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits Recipe

This recipe is easy to throw together, especially if you’re already familiar with working with canned biscuit dough. It saves time, packs big flavor, and gives off those nostalgic diner vibes in every bite. Kids love them, adults devour them, and they’re portable enough to stash in lunchboxes or picnic baskets.

Plus, you can get creative. Add jalapeños for spice, bacon for smokiness, or pickles for tang. These little biscuits are your canvas, and the cheeseburger cravings are real.

Can I Use Homemade Biscuit Dough Instead of Canned?

Absolutely! If you love the flavor and texture of homemade biscuits, feel free to swap in your favorite recipe. Just be sure the dough isn’t too sticky, and roll it out so you can easily divide and fill each portion. Keep in mind, homemade dough may need a little extra baking time, but it’ll be worth every minute.

Ingredients for the Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits

What makes these biscuits so fun is how they elevate basic pantry staples. You’ll need just a handful of ingredients to get started, and each one plays a key role in building flavor and texture.

• Ground beef
• Onion
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Canned biscuit dough
• Ketchup or mustard (optional)
• Pickles (optional)

Each biscuit is filled with juicy ground beef, which gives the dish that unmistakable burger base. The onion adds sweetness and depth, while a sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, and pepper bring out all the savory flavors. Melty cheddar cheese binds it all together for that essential cheeseburger experience. The biscuit dough is the vessel that makes it all portable and golden brown. Optional ketchup, mustard, or pickles give it that final, fast-food-like zing.

How To Make the Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits

Step 1: Cook the Filling

Start by browning your ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess fat. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until it melts into the mixture.

Step 2: Prep the Biscuit Dough

Pop open your can of biscuits and separate each one. Flatten them slightly to form a disk. You want just enough room to scoop the filling and seal them without tearing the dough.

Step 3: Fill and Seal

Place a spoonful of the beef mixture into the center of each biscuit. If using ketchup or mustard, add a small dab. Fold the dough over the filling, pinch the edges tightly, and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden brown. Let them cool a few minutes before serving.

How to Serve and Store Chopped Cheeseburger Biscuits

These chopped cheeseburger biscuits serve about 4 to 6 people, depending on how hungry everyone is or how many you make. They’re ideal as an appetizer, main course, or even a grab-and-go snack.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or warm in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. You can also freeze unbaked, filled biscuits and bake straight from frozen (just add a few more minutes to the bake time).
