Let’s Make Cattle Drive Casserole !

Star by mixing together the biscuit mix , cheddar cheese , milk and reserve the garlic packet for later . Press the biscuit mix into the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking pan.

Notes

I shredded my own cheese for this and used all cheddar to keep it simple . You can change the cheese to your liking . 

I used 1 pound of ground meat , you can add more to add a little more heartiness. I would not exceed 2LBS 

I have added the garlic packet in with the filling or sprinkled it on top of the cheese at the very end. Either way will work .
