Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (about 450g)
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini – water squeezed out
  • 1 small onion – chopped
  • 1 clove garlic – minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried marjoram
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed tomato soup
  • 1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn – drained
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup cold butter
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a 23x33cm (9×13 inch) baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add shredded zucchini, onion, garlic, and marjoram. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender.
  4. Mix in salsa, tomato soup, corn, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Spread beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, ½ teaspoon salt, and garlic powder. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Stir in cheddar cheese, sour cream, and milk until just combined.
  8. Spread biscuit mixture over the beef base. Cover and bake for 25 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure to squeeze out all the water from the zucchini to prevent the casserole from being watery. You can also customize with other vegetables or proteins.
