This is so easy and so good. It is a good recipe for making and freezing ahead, just the beef, barbeque and beans, when making freezer meals. This is a Betty Crocker Bisquick recipe.

How To Make cowboy casserole

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In 10 inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, until thoroughly cooked. Drain.
  • 2
    Stir beans and barbeque sauce into beef. Heat to boiling and pour into ungreased 2 qt. casserole.
  • 3
    In separate medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk and butter until soft dough forms.
  • 4
    Drop by 12 spoonfuls onto beef mixture.
  • 5
    Bake uncovered 18 to 22 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake about 3 minutes longer until cheese is melted.

    Bread topping option: I have used Pillsbury biscuits with great success when I've found not enough Bisquick mix in my pantry.
