Sloppy Joe Biscuits

Dinner doesn’t have to be hard. If you are like me and want a simple prep dinner, give these biscuit sloppy joes a try. My boys gobbled them right up! 

What do I need to get started?

• Beef – lean ground beef
• Garlic powder 
• Onion powder 
• Ketchup – any kind you prefer
• Beef broth 
• Worcestershire sauce 
• Brown sugar 
• Yellow mustard 
• Cornbread muffins or buttermilk biscuits – I have made it with both 
• Cheese –  cheddar or any other kind you want

How to Make

• Preheat the oven to 375° and spray muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Cook the hamburger in a large cooking pan until no longer pink.
• Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and mustard.  Cook till hot and bubbly.

• Open the can of biscuits and press a biscuit out, then press it into the muffin cup.  Repeat with the remaining biscuits.
• Fill each muffin cup with sloppy joe meat.  Sprinkle with cheese.

• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.  Lift a muffin and check the bottom of the cup to see if it is browned.  

• Remove the muffins from the pans and serve.

Can I Use Ground Turkey To Replace Beef 

Go right ahead and swap out the meat for whatever meat you prefer. We love ground beef sloppy joe. But you can always replace the meat to fit what you like. 

Can I Use Canned Sloppy Joe Mix 

Make this dinner even easier and use a canned sloppy joe mix if you want. I personally love homemade cause it is so simple and we have all the ingredients on hand. 

But reach for any of your favorite sloppy joe mixtures to use for these sloppy joe biscuits. 

What Are The Best Biscuits To Use 

I just used the classic buttermilk biscuits. You will find if you buy a pull-apart biscuit it will not shape the way you hope it would. 

The biscuits with butter pieces in it will also affect the outcome of how it bakes. For this, I recommend just the classic plain old Pillsbury biscuits. 

Can I Use Bread Dough Instead of Biscuits

If you don’t want to use biscuits you can of course use bread dough. You can use homemade bread dough or buy frozen bread dough you allow to thaw and rise. Then cut into pieces and shape into muffin tin. Just remember the dough will rise a bit. 

The cook time can vary slightly since you are using bread dough over the biscuit. But the flavor will taste just as good so feel free to use what you prefer. 

Tips:

• Some people prefer to add the cheese after the cups have baked.  They sprinkle the hot cups with cheese and it melts immediately.
• The cornbread muffins make this a little bit sweet but it’s delicious.  If you prefer it regularly, use any kind of biscuits you like.

Storage:

• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

What To Serve With These For Dinner 

• French Fries 
• Chips 
• Cucumber and Onions 
• Potato salad 
• Fresh Veggies 
• Etc
