Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Mix ground beef, sausage, bread crumbs, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, onion, and 1 teaspoon chili powder together in a bowl, shape into small meatballs.

  3. Cook and stir meatballs, 10 to 15 at a time, in a skillet over medium heat until slightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Return all meatballs to skillet, cover, and cook over low heat until meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a 2 1/2-quart casserole dish. Pour excess grease out of skillet, reserving the browned bits of food in the skillet.

  4. Combine cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, 1 cup evaporated milk, and water in the skillet with browned bits of food, cook and stir until sauce is steaming but not boiling, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over meatballs.

  5. Combine flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder in a bowl, cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Beat 1/3 cup evaporated milk and egg together in a separate bowl, mix into flour mixture until a sticky dough forms. Knead dough about 10 times. Roll dough into a 10x12-inch rectangle on a floured work surface. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over dough. Starting on the long end, roll dough around cheese forming a roll, cut into 8 to 10 slices. Turn slices on their side and flatten slightly with your hand, arrange on top of sauce.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling and biscuits are lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
