This Mexican Beef Cobbler is super simple to make, uses one pot and one bowl, and wow. Wow, wow, wow, delicious. Savory cheese biscuits over hearty beef and beans – my husband LOVED this one and told me to definitely not give any to the neighbors! Hah! We served it with a side of oven roasted broccoli and easy peanut butter cookies.

How do you make a Mexican beef cobbler?
⭐ First, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink, drain. Stir in beans, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, and cumin; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered to allow the flavors to blend, stirring occasionally. Stir in cilantro.
⭐ Next, in a bowl, combine the baking mix, cheese, bacon, and cilantro. Add milk and beaten egg; stir just until a soft dough forms (it may be on the wet side). Spoon over beef mixture.
⭐ Finally, bake, uncovered, until golden brown. Sprinkle remaining cheese and continue baking until cheese is melted. Let stand to set before serving.
Do you make New Year’s resolutions? We don’t make resolutions so much as set goals – and one of those being more family meals around the table. I’m pleased to say that two weeks in, we’ve been achieving our bench-mark of at least two meals at the table per week.
Exceeding it, in fact! It’s easy to brush off dinner around the table when you’re busy and stressed, but every time we do it I’m glad we did. It’s kind of like hitting the gym – you’re never sorry after it’s over
This recipe was totally convenient because not only did it make very little mess (and taste delicious), but I only had to add two things to my shopping list: ground beef and fresh cilantro. Everything else was stocked in the pantry and ready to go.
So, this One Pot Mexican Skillet Bake – Beef and Cheese Cobbler recipe is perfect if you’re doing a pantry clean-out challenge!
