Ingredients

2 cups enriched flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoons salt
2 cups shortening
1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup milk
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 sweet pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1/8 teaspoons pepper
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/4 cup chili sauce

Parsley Sauce 

3 Tbs. butter
3 Tbs. flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 c. milk
2 Tbs. minced parsley
1 1/2 tsp celery salt
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 425. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan.

Brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper together until the beef is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Drain off fat.

Stir in prepared mustard and chili sauce. Set aside while you prepare the biscuits.

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together.  Using 2 dull kitchen knives, cut the shortening into the flour until it is the size of small peas. Make a well in the center of the mixture.

In a small bowl, mix the egg and milk together. Pour in the milk and egg mixture into the well you make in the flour. Mix only until the dough follows the spoon around in the bowl.

Divide the dough in half. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface.  Roll or lightly pat each dough half into an 8-inch square. Place one half of the dough in the bottom of a greased, 8x8x2 inch pan. 

Place the meat mixture over the biscuit dough. Top with remaining biscuit dough.

Bake for 25 minutes.  As the hamburger biscuits bake, prepare the Parsley Sauce. 

Make white sauce by melting butter.  Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes over medium heat.  Stirring constantly add the salt, pepper, milk, parsley, celery salt and Worcestershire sauce. Cook and stir until the sauce comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. 

Cut into squares and serve with parsley sauce.
