Sloppy Joe casserole with biscuits is an easy recipe that’s a perfect for a weeknight dinner. A twist on a classic with out the mess.
Growing up Sloppy Joe’s were a staple in my house. As an adult I still love them but not the messiness of eating them so why not make a Sloppy Joe casserole using canned biscuits? It’s all the goodness of a Sloppy Joe that you can eat in a bowl if you ask me it’s even better. The ultimate comfort food you won’t even miss the traditional Sloppy Joe.
It’s a twist on a classic that is super easy weeknight dinner that the whole family will enjoy! A hearty dinner recipe that’s quick to assemble and you can even load it up with veggies. My mom used to add carrots and the entire family had no idea! Now that I make it myself I add onions and red bell peppers.

Can you use sauce from a can?
You can make your own Sloppy Joe sauce but usually I make this dinner when I am in need of something easy and quick. I almost always use canned Sloppy Joe sauce. You can find the sauce in the grocery store I used the store brand sauce here but the Manwich sauce one is also good.
If you would like to make a homemade sauce you can use a mixture of brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, ketchup, yellow, chili powder, tomato paste and seasonings.

In a greased baking dish pour your ground beef mixture and spread evenly. Top with cheese. Top with an even layer of quartered biscuit dough. You can also make this in a casserole dish or a dutch oven.
