Description
This Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole brings together savory ground beef in classic Sloppy Joe sauce, fluffy biscuit dough topping and melted cheddar cheese for an easy, family-friendly comfort meal ready in about 35 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef – the hearty base of the dish
- 1 small onion, chopped – adds flavour and texture
- 1 small bell pepper, diced – brings colour and vegetable crunch
- 1 cup tomato sauce – forms the saucy backbone
- ½ cup ketchup – gives sweetness and tang
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce – deep umami flavour
- 1 tsp garlic powder – warm garlic note
- 1 tsp chili powder – mild spice and smokiness
- ½ tsp salt – balances flavour
- ½ tsp black pepper – subtle heat
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough – the fluffy topping that bakes up golden
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese – melted, gooey finish that binds everything together
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and diced bell pepper until beef is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and transfer the sloppy joe mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Cut the biscuit dough into quarters and scatter them evenly over the top of the mixture.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the biscuits.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving—this helps it set and makes serving easier.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use lean ground turkey instead of beef.
- If biscuits are browning too fast before the centre is done, tent loosely with foil for the final few minutes.
- You can assemble the meat mixture ahead (up to 24 hours), refrigerate, then add biscuits & cheese just before baking.
