Instructions

Preparation

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion in the olive oil until soft and translucent.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, draining excess grease.
  • Stir in the sloppy joe sauce and let simmer for 3–5 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the sloppy joe mixture into the greased baking dish and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Biscuit Topping

  • In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit mix and milk, mixing gently until just combined.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the cheesy meat mixture.

Baking

  • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, sauté garlic with the onions. Consider adding chopped peppers or mushrooms for extra texture. Experiment with biscuit variations and toppings for a personal touch.
