Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Choose 85% lean for best flavor.
  • 1 cup diced onion About 1 small onion or half a large onion.
  • 1 can (15 oz) sloppy joe sauce Can be homemade or store-bought.
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Can substitute with other cheese like Monterey Jack.
  • 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuits Cut each biscuit into quarters.
  • Nonstick cooking spray For greasing the baking dish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and coat a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion for 5 to 7 minutes until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain the grease.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sloppy joe sauce. Warm the mixture through.
  4. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar on top.
  5. Arrange the biscuit quarters evenly over the cheese.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, checking the biscuits in the center for doneness. If the tops brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 15-20 minutes.
  2. Once done, let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For make-ahead options, prepare the filling and cheese up to 24 hours in advance, adding biscuits just before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
