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.

This casserole is comfort food at its best. The meatballs are hearty and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.

This casserole was okay. The meatballs were a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different kind of meatball.
