Season with salt, pepper, paprika, smokey seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, and brown sugar. Mix until the seasoning covers the meat.

Note
Customize the Beans: We used black and kidney beans for a great combo of texture and flavor, but feel free to swap in pinto, navy, or even chili-style beans based on your taste or pantry staples.
Homemade or Store-Bought Biscuits: Either works wonderfully. If you're short on time, refrigerated biscuit dough is a great shortcut. For a more rustic touch, whip up a quick homemade biscuit dough from scratch.
Add Some Heat: Want a bit of kick? Stir in a diced jalapeño, a dash of hot sauce, or a pinch of red chili flakes to the beef mixture before baking.
Cheese, Please: For extra richness, sprinkle shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a cheese blend on top before adding the biscuits, or even halfway through baking.
One-Pan Tip: This dish is oven-to-table friendly! Prepare the beef and bean mixture in an oven-safe skillet or casserole dish to keep cleanup minimal.
Make Ahead: You can prep the beef and bean mixture in advance and refrigerate it. When ready to bake, top with biscuits and pop it in the oven.
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. The biscuits may soften a bit but will still be delicious!
