Ingredients & Substitutions
Beef: Look for beef sirloin or beef stew meat. Cut into bite-sized cubes, you will need about 1 1/2 pounds of it.
Biscuits: The biscuits that are baked on top of the casserole are my Cheesy Garlic Biscuits. Once you taste them in this dish, you will definitely want to make a batch to enjoy with your next meal. They are so good! You could substitute refrigerator biscuits, but the baking time may need to be adjusted if using store-bought biscuits.
Potatoes: I peeled and diced Russet potatoes for the casserole. You do not have to peel them if you don’t mind the skins. Yukon gold potatoes would also work in the casserole.
Vegetables: Besides the potatoes, I added carrots, peas, corn, and onion. They create a flavorful and colorful filling.
Slurry: A mixture of cornstarch and milk creates a slurry that is added to the casserole mixture, thickening it.
Topping: After the casserole has been baked, don’t forget to brush the melted butter and parsley over the tops of the biscuits.
Can I Make This Casserole Ahead of Time?
You can prepare the vegetables by cutting them up a day or two in advance. Additionally, you can mix the biscuit dough ahead of time. Store the dough in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap, for 1-2 days. This way, you can streamline the cooking process and save time when you’re ready to assemble and bake the beef pot pie casserole.
How To Store Beef Pot Pie Casserole
To store beef pot pie casserole, first, let it cool completely. Next, store the casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last up to 3-4 days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave.

What the Test Kitchen had to say about this recipe:

This is so hearty and filling. The sauce soaks right into the cheesy biscuit topping. I loved that there were veggies and meat in every single bite.
Elizabeth
Talk about a complete meal in one! The biscuits alone are so good, and then when paired with beef and vegetables, I'll take it!
Rachael
The biscuits on this are so good! This is a very hearty meal that is sure to please a crowd. I kept dipping the biscuits into the gravy and it was delicious!
Annabelle
This is absolutely delicious and so comforting! Perfect for chilly days, or any time you want a fulfilling meal!
Bella
This is such a hearty and fulfilling meal. The cheesy biscuits were absolutely delicious with the vegetables and meat!
Selena
This is a super satisfying and comforting meal! I adore the big chunks of beef and the cheesy biscuits on top are divine!
My daughter always asked for this. It’s delicious every time I make it . I don’t put in the peas for no one likes it.
Made this for dinner the other night and it was a hit. I forgot to add the corn, but I don’t think anybody missed it. The leftovers were excellent as well. Thanks for the recipe!
1/2 cup cornstarch is that correct?
Yup
I made this with some leftover beef tenderloin from Christmas. Just added the diced beef after the vegetables were simmered in step 5. I had some leftover shallot sauce and threw that in to enhance the gravy. My whole family loved it! I normally make something similar to this, topping it with a pie crust but I think this recipe with biscuits will be my new go to! Oh, I also did the veggies in an oval Staub cocotte and just added the biscuits on top to cut down on dishes. It worked great! Happy 2023!
Do you drain the corn?
Recipe says drained.
Does this casserole freeze well? I’m asking because there are only two of us and I don’t wat to cut the recipe in half, if it freezes well. Thanks
