Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Sauce
- 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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by spraying it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef thoroughly until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
- Prepare Sloppy Joe Mixture: Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the cooked beef in the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors and thicken slightly.
- Combine with Biscuits: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Sloppy Joe mixture to a medium mixing bowl. Add the quartered biscuits and toss gently until they are well coated with the meat mixture.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the biscuit and meat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the casserole warm for a delicious, hearty meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of hot sauce or diced green peppers to the Sloppy Joe mixture.
- Use refrigerated biscuit dough for convenience, or homemade biscuit dough if preferred.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
- To make it a bit healthier, use lean ground beef or ground turkey and reduced-fat cheese.
