Ingredients
Scale
Sloppy Joe Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Casserole
- 12 oz biscuits, cut into quarters
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
- Make Sloppy Joe Sauce: Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir well and let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Combine with Biscuits: Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the meat mixture into a medium bowl and toss together with the quartered biscuits until they are evenly coated.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the biscuit and meat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top to create a cheesy layer.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes. The biscuits should become golden brown and the cheese melted and bubbly.
- Serve Warm: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving warm for the best comfort food experience.
Notes
- Using refrigerated biscuits cuts down preparation time and adds flaky texture.
- Drain excess fat thoroughly to avoid greasiness in the casserole.
- Feel free to use sharp cheddar for a stronger cheese flavor.
- This dish can be prepared a day ahead and reheated for convenience.
- For a twist, add chopped bell peppers or onions to the meat mixture while cooking.
