Ingredients
Scale
Meat Sauce
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Casserole
- 12 oz biscuits, cut into quarters
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned and no longer pink, then carefully drain off any excess fat to reduce grease.
- Make Sloppy Joe Sauce: To the cooked beef in the skillet, add ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Combine Meat and Biscuits: Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the meat mixture to a medium bowl and add the quartered biscuits. Toss everything together until the biscuit pieces are evenly coated with the meat sauce.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the biscuit and meat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top to cover the surface.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of chili powder or hot sauce to the meat mixture.
- Use refrigerated biscuits for convenience, or homemade biscuit dough for a fresher biscuit texture.
- If you prefer, substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
