Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces canned corn, drained
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), kidney beans, corn, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the beef mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
Arrange the refrigerated biscuit dough on top of the cheese layer, making sure to space them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chuck Wagon Casserole!
