    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Baking dish coated in cooking spray

    Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.

    Pour the Bisquick mixture into the prepared baking dish.

    Browned ground beef

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, about 5-7 minutes.

    Ground beef mixture with brown gravy liquid reduced

    Add the onion slices and green bell pepper slices to the skillet with the beef and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

    Ground beef mixture with brown gravy liquid reduced

    Stir the brown gravy mix, water, and the remaining black pepper into the ground beef mixture. Simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the liquid is reduced.

    Ground beef mixture spread evenly over the Bisquick layer

      It was a very easy recipe to put together. I omitted salt and pepper and maybe that was what I felt it was lacking. Don't get me wrong it is good but I felt like it was lacking a tiny bit. Maybe next time I will include an all purpose seasoning to enhance the flavor.

      Easy and delicious. Made mine with ground turkey and added tangy/spicey hoagie pepper spread when serving. Yummy!

      I saw this and had to have it. I did mine with Steak Umms and I used red and green peppers. It came out beautiful and I served it with french cut green beans, corn on the cob and yeast rolls. That was a delicious dinner. Thank you for the recipe and you have a wonderful day.
