About
This Italian Beef Biscuit Bake does layering right. First off is a buttery biscuit crust on the bottom. Then comes a garlic-infused, juicy ground beef layer. Then vibrant, fresh tomato slices. Then a creamy, cheesy, spicy pepper sauce layer. Mmmm, Italian Beef Biscuit Bake is the kind of flavor structure the Romans would be proud of! It's a Colosseum of savory!
