Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 2 lbs lean ground beef
  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder

Toppings

  • 2 cups French’s fried onions
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend

Biscuit Base

  • 12 oz Pillsbury refrigerated biscuits

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by heating your oven to 375°F to ensure it’s ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Place the 2 lbs of lean ground beef in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat with a dab of butter or margarine for added flavor. Add the diced onion to the pan.
  3. Sauté Onions and Crumble Beef: Cook the beef and onions together, crumbling the beef well with a spatula as it cooks to ensure even browning and mixing.
  4. Drain Excess Grease: Once the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink, turn off the heat and carefully drain any excess fat from the pan to keep the dish leaner.
  5. Prepare Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and onion powder. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed into a flavorful sauce.
  6. Combine Sauce with Beef: Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the cooked ground beef, stirring thoroughly to coat the meat evenly.
  7. Add Fried Onions: Stir in 2 cups of French’s fried onions, mixing well to add a crispy, savory element inside the casserole.
  8. Assemble in Baking Dish: Transfer the sloppy joe mixture into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform baking.
  9. Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend evenly over the sloppy joe layer.
  10. Prepare Biscuit Topping: Open the package of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into 6 pieces.
  11. Arrange Biscuit Pieces: Place the biscuit pieces on top of the cheese layer, spacing them evenly to allow for browning and rising.
  12. Bake Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the biscuit pieces are golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Serve: Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then serve this hearty and comforting casserole warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a leaner dish, choose ground beef with lower fat content.
  • You can substitute mozzarella and cheddar with any cheese blend you prefer.
  • Adding diced bell peppers or jalapeños to the beef mixture can add extra flavor.
  • If you want crispier biscuit toppings, place them slightly apart before baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
