Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup spaghetti sauce
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1 tablespoon onion soup mix
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 block (4 ounces) cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Directions

In a skillet, cook beef and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in beans, spaghetti sauce, mushrooms, soup mix and garlic powder; mix well. Bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, place a cheese cube in the center of each biscuit. Fold dough over cheese to cover; pinch to seal.
Transfer hot meat mixture to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Place biscuits seam side down over beef mixture. Brush with butter.
Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 18-20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
