How to Make ​My Sloppy Joe Biscuit Bake

Step 1: Brown the Beef

To start, preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 3-quart (9×13-inch) baking dish.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until mostly browned. Add the onion and cook 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. 

Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 3: Assemble

Gently fold half of the biscuit quarters into the sloppy joe mixture until just coated.

Transfer the sloppy-joe and biscuit mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top, then nestle the remaining biscuit quarters into the top of the casserole.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 40-45 minutes. At the 15-minute mark, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the biscuits from over-browning. 

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Let rest 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!!
