How to Make Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole (USA Measurements)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion. Use a spoon or spatula to break the beef into crumbles as it cooks. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Step 3: Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce
Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the cooked beef. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
Cut each biscuit into quarters for easy layering. Spread the biscuit pieces evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Pour the Sloppy Joe mixture over the biscuit pieces, ensuring the sauce is spread evenly.
Step 5: Add the Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Step 6: Bake
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The biscuits should puff up and turn golden brown, and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
Step 7: Serve
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Dish up the savory, cheesy goodness, and enjoy!
Cooking Tips and Variations
- Add More Veggies: Stir in diced bell peppers or shredded carrots to sneak in extra veggies.
- Make It Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Substitute Ground Meat: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Cheese Lovers’ Delight: Swap cheddar for a blend of cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for extra flavor.
This casserole pairs perfectly with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
