How to Make Old Fashioned Beef Pot Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into large chunks. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup water, 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2/3 cup french fried onions.
Pour the beef mixture into a greased 12x8 inch baking dish.
Cut each of the 8 refrigerated biscuits in half. Place the biscuit halves, cut-side down, around the edge of the casserole dish.
Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2/3 cup french fried onions.
Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
