We all liked this... I made my own baking mix with help from SunnyByrd :) I used American cheese and it was very cheesy and delicious! We like a bit of spice in food so I added a dash of cayenne pepper to the beef. I would probably add more baking mix or less milk next time since the topping was a bit thin and didn't give as much breading as I would have liked. Good!

Im sorry, but i wasnt very pleased with this recipe. (Look at all the people who reviewed this favorably - most addded or changed at least a couple things about the recipe) I made this to a "T", exactly as written, and it was just way too bland.... 3 stars for easiness, 1 star for taste, hence the 2 star rating!!

great! NOTE TO NON-AMERICAN-EATERS: this does NOT taste like some can-inspired casserole. as long as you spice it up! i added sliced hot peppers (cooked with the beef), reduced the beef, added some olive oil, added some finely chopped garlic, added canned peas, added asparagus (turned out too thready/hard to cut), added salt, added red pepper spice, added a small package of crushed red pepper (would not do this in the future). i also wish that the crust was on the bottom as well as top... next time i'll consider pouring some on the bottom first, or maybe just mixing it with the meat sauce... next time i'll also try to make it more healthy using mozerella cheese instead of cheddar slices.

Added a little extra seasoning and salt to the meat because it was a little bland at first. 5 Stars though, whole family inhaled it.

I have to give it 5 stars because my husband liked it so much. I used Jiffy corn muffin mix instead of the bisquick, but I would have liked it to seep down in the mixture a little more. The meat seemed to need a little extra kick. Next time I'll play around with the recipe some more.

I used a can of tomatoes with green chilis instead of fresh tomatoes as suggested. Also added some pickle chips, mustard and ketchup before dumping the biscuit mix on. Very good.

Not enough flavor at all and I took recommendations of adding mustard, ketchup and worcestshire sauce. Like another reviewer said, way too runny and the topping was just not the right texture.

This was good. It's not the type of meal that I would make for company coming over. I was making cupcakes for a party at the same time. It's the "I need to make something good yet easy and quick for dinner" type of recipe. I used a ripe garden tomato instead of the italian diced tomatos like I planned and that turned out very well. The baking mix topping while mixing it together did seem awfully thin to me so I just kept adding handfuls till it was a nice thickish consistancy. My husband said it tasted like a cheeseburger on a biscuit, it does definitly dress up the popular "off the box" recipe! All in all it was a good dinner and I'll definitly be having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!!!

I didnt have any bisquick so I used cornbread mix instead (mixed up as mix directions said) and I added to the meat mixture 2 cans diced tomatoes, 1 can minced chilies, and 1 tsp hot sauce. I followed the recipe for the rest of the ingredients. The cornbread mix didnt go to the bottom as the bisquick would have, but it was good anyway.

I give this 5 stars for being a quick, easy, I've-got-all-the-ingredients kind of meal. My 8 yr. old son LOVES it. I would suggest adding the seasonings to the meat BEFORE placing it in the pan so that all of the meat gets seasoned and it doesn't just sit on top (and of course, season to taste--whatever you normally put into burgers). Also, I took a cue from our local pizza parlor's cheeseburger pizza and I put mustard on top of the meat mixture, then placed hamburger dill slices all over it before sprinkling on the cheese. Not bad for a quickie, kid-satisfying meal!

Flavorless, no spice or zing to it at all. Me and mr friend, upon serving up dinner, instantly started thinking of things to do to improve this - NEVER a good sign. * I'd stir the spices into the meat. * Use Mexican Oregano instead of just standard Oregano. * Either increase the Bisquick power by half again or cut the milk. The topping was *WAY* too runny. And that was just off the top of my head.

I made some similar changes to those suggested by other users. I added a can of rotel as well as some cumin, chili powder and all seasoning. The meat mixture was pretty good. My biggest problem is that the bisquick didn't cook all the way through leaving a mushy mess. Next time i'm going to try covering with foil to see if that helps.

made this the other night. very easy to put together but felt it needed something more. I added a can of rotel instead of the fresh tomato also added the french fried onions, tasted too much of the oregano so I might either cut that down a bit or leave it out all together. This one needs a little work but still not a bad easy fix meal for the times when you are in a hurry.

I make this every once in a while. It's really just okay, and I never want to eat the leftovers the next day because they deteriorate pretty quickly. Next time I'll try it with the additions other reviewers suggested--french fried onions, mustard, and rotel.

A great start, but definitely needed a kick. I added a chopped cayenne pepper to the beef, along with some sliced baby bellas. I'm not a fan of tomatoes, either, so I stirred a small can of tomato sauce into the browned beef mixture, too (will use paste next time, though).

I gave this five stars because it is exactly what it says-- impossible easy. Add to that the fact that my extremely finicky five-year old loved it, and you have a five-star recipe in my book. It is not gourmet fare by any means, but it does make a good weeknight main dish. I used a can of Italian seasoned diced tomatoes instead of the fresh tomato and added bacon pieces. Everyone was happy at my house!
