Mira Walilko - Detroit, Michigan

This hearty casserole was inspired by the contestants three hungry boys.


   CASSEROLE
   1 1/2 pounds ground beef
   1 cup chopped celery
   1/2 cup chopped onions
   1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
   1 clove garlic, minced
   1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
   3/4 cup water
   1 teaspoon paprika
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1 (16-ounce) can pork and beans or baked beans, undrained
   1 (15-ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained*
   
   BISCUITS
   1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
   2 teaspoons baking powder
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/4 cup margarine or butter
   1/2 to 3/4 cup milk
   2 tablespoons sliced stuffed green olives
   1 tablespoon slivered almonds


In large skillet, combine ground beef, celery, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook over medium-high heat until beef is thoroughly cooked and vegetables are tender; drain. Reduce heat to low. Stir in tomato paste, water, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add pork and beans and garbanzo beans; simmer while preparing biscuits, stirring occasionally.

Heat oven to 425°F. In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix well. Using pastry blender or fork, cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in enough milk until mixture leaves sides of bowl and forms a soft, moist dough. On floured surface, gently knead dough 8 times. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness; cut with floured 2 1/2-inch doughnut cutter. Reroll dough to cut additional biscuits. Reserve dough centers.

Reserve 1/2 cup of hot meat mixture. Pour remaining hot meat mixture into ungreased 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish. Arrange biscuits without centers over hot meat mixture. Stir olives and almonds into reserved 1/2 cup meat mixture; spoon into center of each biscuit. Top each with biscuit centers.

Bake at 425°F. for 15 to 25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

TIPS:
*One 15-oz. can lima beans, drained, can be substituted for the garbanzo beans.
To make ahead, cook meat mixture; refrigerate. Just before serving, reheat meat mixture; top with biscuits. Bake as directed above.
