Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Canola
  • 1 Small Onion finely diced
  • 1 Carrot small dice
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves minced or grated
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef we used sirloin
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces Tomato Sauce
  • ¼ cup Pitted Spanish Olives chopped
  • 1 Egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • 8 Large Refrigerated Biscuits
  • All Purpose Flour for the work surface

Instructions

  • You will also need: Large baking sheet, Parchment paper, Rolling pin, Pastry brush
  • Combine the salt, dried oregano, cumin and black pepper in a small bowl.

Make the ground beef filling

  • Heat the oil in a large, deep, non-skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onions and carrots to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes until the onions start to soften, stirring frequently.
  • Add the garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and the prepared seasoning mix. Stir to incorporate all of the ingredients, while breaking up any large pieces of beef with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Cook the beef for approximately 5-6 minutes to brown, stirring frequently.
  • Add the tomato sauce and chopped olives to the skillet and stir to combine. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet and cook the ground beef for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Taste the beef and add salt, if needed. As a reference, we add a couple of pinches to ours.
  • Once the meat is done cooking, remove the skillet from the heat, uncover and allow the ground beef to cool.

While the ground beef filling is cooling set up for stuffing the biscuits

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Crack the egg into a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water. Beat the egg with a fork until scrambled.

Stuff the biscuits

  • Work with one biscuit at a time.
  • Split the biscuit in half by gently separating it in the middle. You will end up with two flatter pieces. Sprinkle some flour on you work surface to help with sticking.
  • Roll each piece out lightly with a rolling pin into approximately 4 inch rounds.
  • Add 2 heaping tablespoons of the ground beef in the center of the thicker piece. Arrange it so it goes almost to the edge but leave about ½ inch space all the way around.
  • Use a pastry brush to moisten the edge around the biscuit with the egg.
  • Top it with the remaining biscuit half. Pull on the dough lightly to make it reach the edges.
  • Crimp the edges with a fork to seal tightly.
  • Place the stuffed biscuit on the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
  • Brush the top of biscuits with the egg wash.
  • Use the tip of a small paring knife to cut three small slits on the top of the biscuits to vent.
  • Bake the biscuits for approximately 15-18 minutes or until they are a nice golden color. Keep an eye on them. Turn on the oven light and look in after 10 minutes or so. Then you can gauge the remaining time from there.

Notes

You will probably have some ground beef leftover, enough for another 3-4 biscuits. The ground beef will keep for a couple days in the refrigerator. The leftovers are great added to some pasta sauce and served over spaghetti, or in a sandwich, sloppy joe style.
