  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Ignite the oven to a fiery 400°F (200°C), creating the perfect heat environment for this savory culinary creation.
  2. Transform ground beef in a spacious skillet, browning the meat until it develops a rich, caramelized exterior. Eliminate any excess adipose remnants.
  3. Introduce diced onions and aromatic garlic to the sizzling pan, allowing them to soften and release their fragrant essence for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Cascade frozen vegetables into the skillet, accompanying the robust beef with cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and a harmonious blend of seasonings – salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  5. Allow the mixture to simmer and meld, thickening into a luxurious filling that promises depth and complexity.
  6. Migrate the savory concoction into a prepared 9×9-inch baking vessel, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Craft the biscuit topping by whisking together flour, leavening agents, garlic powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  8. Incorporate sharp cheddar cheese, folding it gently into the dry ingredients.
  9. Pour buttermilk and melted butter into the mixture, combining with a light touch to maintain the biscuit’s potential for tender perfection.
  10. Artfully dollop the biscuit batter across the beef landscape, creating a rustic, uneven terrain that allows steam to escape.
  11. Slide the assembled cobbler into the preheated oven, transforming it for 20-25 minutes until the topping achieves a golden, appetizing crust.
  12. Permit the dish to rest briefly, allowing flavors to settle and harmonize.
  13. Serve immediately, Optional: Sprinkle fresh parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
