Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole Ingredients
This recipe starts with browning lean ground beef, onions, and bell peppers, then mixing in tangy ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder for that signature Sloppy Joe flavor.
The magic happens when you add the biscuit pieces and bake them until they’re perfectly puffed and golden, with melted cheddar cheese on top.
- 16 oz. can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 c. ketchup
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 3 tsp. yellow mustard
- 3 tsp. worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
How to Make Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, onions, and peppers. Cook until the meat is crumbled and cooked through, and the onions and peppers are softened.
- Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder until well combined. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Separate the biscuits and cut each one into 8 pieces. Place the biscuit pieces into the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Pour the meat mixture on top of the biscuits and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the coated biscuits.
- Bake in the oven, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
- Add the remaining cheese on top and bake for another 10 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through in the center.
- Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Pro Tips For Making This Recipe
- Using lean ground beef will reduce the amount of grease and make the dish less oily. If you use a higher-fat content beef, be sure to drain the excess grease after browning.
- Cut the biscuits into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. This helps achieve a consistent texture throughout the casserole.
- Ensure the biscuits are cooked through by checking their center with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the biscuits are done.
- For a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some diced jalapeños to the beef mixture.
- Allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes after baking before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to serve.
