• 1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup catsup
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 5 slices processed cheese
• 8 biscuits (recipe below)

Preheat oven to 400 F.

In a large skillet, break up beef and brown with onion. Drain off fat. Stir in tomato sauce, catsup and pepper. Heat until bubbly.

Grease an 8" square baking pan or oven-proof casserole dish.

Spread half the meat mixture in pan. Top with a layer of four cheese slices, then cover with remaining meat. Arrange biscuits around edge. Place fifth cheese slice in center.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.

• 1 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/3 cup of shortening
• 1/2 cup of milk

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add shortening and cut into flour mixture until crumbly.

Add milk and stir with a fork until all is well incorporated.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and flatten to about 1/2-inch thick using the palm of your hand. Using a 2-inch diameter, round cookie cutter, cut out 8 biscuits. If any dough is left over, break it into small pieces and use them to fill in gaps when you arrange the biscuits around the casserole dish.
