Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup Sloppy Joe sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Topping
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
- Sauté Onions: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the chopped onions and cook until they become soft and translucent, enhancing their sweetness.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks for even browning.
- Add Sauce and Seasoning: Stir in the Sloppy Joe sauce and garlic powder into the browned beef mixture. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors well.
- Assemble in Baking Dish: Spread the hot Sloppy Joe beef mixture evenly at the bottom of a baking dish to create a solid base layer.
- Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture, allowing it to melt and add richness during baking.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters and scatter the pieces evenly over the cheese layer, ensuring coverage across the entire dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit pieces are puffed up and golden brown, indicating they are fully cooked and deliciously flaky.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes so the layers set slightly, making it easier to serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for better melting and flavor.
- You can swap the Sloppy Joe sauce for homemade tomato-based sauce if preferred.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- Ensure biscuits are spread evenly to get a balanced ratio of biscuit to meat in every serving.
