I discovered this Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole recipe when I was looking for an easy dinner twist and it totally surprised me. I started by browning 1 lb ground beef with a diced medium onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, then tossed in some diced green bell pepper for extra crunch and flavor.

I mixed in 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, a tablespoon of yellow mustard and Worcestershire sauce along with 1/4 cup brown sugar. The combination creates a tangy, sweet sauce that makes every bite interesting.

I then layered it all in a casserole dish before topping with a package of refrigerated biscuit dough and sometimes a sprinkle of 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese for that melty finish.

FAQ

SLOPPY JOE BISCUIT CASSEROLE Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you can’t find ground beef, ground turkey or chicken works pretty good
• Instead of a medium onion, you can use shallots if they’re what you got
• Not keen on green bell pepper? Red bell pepper or even a mix of bell pepps can do the trick
• If you’re out of ketchup, try stirring together some tomato paste with a little sugar
• No Worcestershire sauce? A splash of soy sauce with a dash of lemon juice can be a decent swap

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you brown the beef really well so it develops a deep flavor, and dont be in a hurry – letting it cook down will help all the seasonings mix together better.
2. When you add the onions, peppers, and garlic, keep an eye on ’em; overcooking can make them lose their crunch, but undercooking might leave a raw taste so try to hit the sweet spot.
3. Try to space out the biscuits evenly over the meat mixture so they have room to puff up and get nice and soft underneath without getting soggy.
4. If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle some extra either before or after baking for a gooey top layer, but dont overload it or it might get too heavy and obscure the flavors underneath.
