Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1 can (15 oz) sloppy joe sauce
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Sauté Beef and Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and green bell pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and the vegetables have softened. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Sauce and Season: Stir in the sloppy joe sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Prepare Biscuit Base: Place the quartered biscuit dough evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Assemble Casserole: Pour the sloppy joe mixture evenly over the biscuit dough pieces, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and for safer eating.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- If you like it spicy, add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the sauce mixture.
- Using refrigerated biscuit dough saves time and adds a flaky texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
