Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound ground beef
¼ pound sausage
½ cup plain bread crumbs
⅓ cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 cup evaporated milk
½ cup water
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon chili powder
⅓ cup shortening
⅓ cup evaporated milk
1 egg
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix ground beef, sausage, bread crumbs, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, onion, and 1 teaspoon chili powder together in a bowl; shape into small meatballs.
  • Cook and stir meatballs, 10 to 15 at a time, in a skillet over medium heat until slightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Return all meatballs to skillet, cover, and cook over low heat until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish. Pour excess grease out of skillet, reserving the browned bits of food in the skillet.
  • Combine cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, 1 cup evaporated milk, and water in the skillet with browned bits of food; cook and stir until sauce is steaming but not boiling, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over meatballs.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder in a bowl; cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Beat 1/3 cup evaporated milk and egg together in a separate bowl; mix into flour mixture until a sticky dough forms. Knead dough about 10 times. Roll dough into a 10x12-inch rectangle on a floured work surface. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over dough. Starting on the long end, roll dough around cheese forming a roll; cut into 8 to 10 slices. Turn slices on their side and flatten slightly with your hand; arrange on top of sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling and biscuits are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

I liked this casserole, but I made a few changes. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and I added some chopped vegetables to the sauce. It turned out great!
