Introduction

Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole is the answer when you need a family-friendly dinner that comes together quickly but doesn’t sacrifice satisfaction. The classic flavors of tangy, savory Sloppy Joes are layered under fluffy, golden biscuits for a comforting one-pan meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

This crowd-pleaser is a breeze to prepare and requires minimal cleanup, making it the perfect recipe for anyone who wants maximum flavor with minimal effort.

Why This Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole Is So Irresistible

The casserole stands out with its rich, meaty Sloppy Joe base topped with melt-in-your-mouth biscuits. Each bite delivers a combination of saucy beef and pillowy bread that’s hard to resist. It’s also endlessly customizable—mix in your favorite veggies, swap in ground turkey, or spice it up for heat-lovers. The entire dish bakes together for fuss-free assembly and irresistible results.

Optimizing the Prep: Chopping, Sautéing, and Simmering

Start with prepping your vegetables and aromatics. Dicing onions and peppers quickly and evenly is made simple with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, which cuts down on prep time and ensures uniformity for even cooking.

For sautéing, a nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch makes browning hamburger and vegetables a breeze, while also simplifying cleanup. For breaking up ground beef efficiently, use the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher; its design helps achieve the perfect crumbly texture.

Building and Baking Your Casserole

Once your Sloppy Joe filling is ready and simmering to savory perfection, transfer it to a casserole dish. Pop canned or homemade biscuit dough on top, allowing gaps for steam to escape. Lining your baking dish with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll will prevent sticking and make serving cleanly so much easier.

Bake until those biscuits are golden and irresistible—about 20 minutes usually does the trick. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before digging in to let the flavors set and make serving simple.

Serving Suggestions to Make It a Meal

Serve this hearty casserole straight from the oven with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables on the side. Pack leftovers into a Bentgo Salad Container for an excellent lunch option. This casserole also pairs deliciously with a cold beverage—the contrast of rich, savory casserole and a refreshing drink can’t be beat.
