This has been a family favorite for over 100 years... with just a few ingredient updates... and canned beans vs dry beans... canned biscuits vs fresh homemade biscuits... Home made Bar- B- Que sauce vs bottled... It is good both ways..

How To Make cowboy beans n' biscuits

Step 1

Brown the ground beef well in a large skillet over medium - high heat, add the minced onion and cook until onions are done (do not burn!)

Step 2

Add all remaining ingredients except the biscuits. Stir and heat well. *** Do Not Drain the beans!!!
Step 3

Pour this mixture into a large roast pan or baking pan.
Step 4

Open up the biscuits and put them on top of the bean and meat mixture. Brush (or spread) the tops of the biscuits with butter.
Step 5

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes... or until biscuits are cooked through and golden brown.
Step 6

*** Sometimes we cover the bean and meat mixture with shredded cheddar cheese or sliced American cheese before adding the biscuits.
Step 7

*** The original recipe also called for salt pork or bacon... it is good with it or without it. *** The original recipe called for cubes of cut up beef.... we have made it this way too...
