• 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

8. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the ground beef mixture in the pie dish.
9. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the cheese layer, spreading it out slightly.
