Ingredients

  • 2 lbs  lean ground beef

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375F.

  • Scatter the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend evenly over the meat.

  • Arrange the biscuit pieces over the cheese, distributing them as evenly as possible.
  • Bake until the biscuits are nicely browned, about 22–25 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Ground beef: Use lean ground beef and drain the excess grease well after cooking. This keeps the sloppy joe filling rich and saucy without making the casserole greasy.
  • Sauce: Stir the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and onion powder together before adding them to the beef. This helps distribute the sweet and savory flavors evenly.
  • Fried onions: Stir the French's fried onions directly into the sloppy joe mixture. They add savory onion flavor and a little extra texture to the filling.
  • Biscuits: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into 6 pieces and spread them evenly over the cheese. Avoid piling the pieces together so they have room to puff and brown.
  • Baking: Bake at 375F for 22–25 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are nicely browned.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
  • Serving: This casserole is hearty on its own, but a green salad, roasted vegetables, French fries, or potato wedges make easy sides.
