This Sloppy Joe Casserole is a hearty and comforting dish featuring seasoned ground beef mixed with classic sloppy joe sauce and flaky biscuit pieces, all topped with melted cheddar cheese. Perfect for a family dinner, this casserole combines the flavors of a traditional sloppy joe sandwich with the ease of a baked one-dish meal.

Ingredients

Meat Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 15 oz sloppy joe sauce

Biscuit Mixture and Topping

  • 16.3 oz can refrigerated biscuits (e.g., Grands Homestyle)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish and set it aside for later use.
  2. Dice Onion: Finely dice half of a medium onion to prepare for cooking with the beef.
  3. Cook Ground Beef and Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and diced onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook while breaking up the beef until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
  4. Prepare Biscuit and Cheese Mixture: While the beef cooks, cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters. In a mixing bowl, toss the biscuit pieces with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, distributing the cheese evenly.
  5. Combine Meat and Biscuit Mixtures: Once the beef is cooked, stir the sloppy joe sauce into the beef mixture. Then fold in the cheesy biscuit quarters carefully to combine all ingredients well.
  6. Assemble Casserole: Spoon the combined sloppy joe and biscuit mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through.

Notes

  • Drain grease from the cooked beef to reduce excess fat in the casserole.
  • You can substitute the biscuit brand with any flaky refrigerated biscuit dough available.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the beef while cooking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • This dish pairs well with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
