1can16.3 oz refrigerated biscuit dough (or homemade biscuit dough)
1cupcheddar cheeseshredded (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Dish:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Cook the Meat Mixture:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper (if using) until the meat is browned and the vegetables are soft. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Simmer the mixture for about 5-10 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble the Casserole:
Spread the Sloppy Joe mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place the biscuit dough on top of the meat mixture. If using canned biscuits, separate them and arrange them evenly over the meat. If using homemade biscuit dough, drop spoonfuls of the dough over the meat.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Add Cheese and Finish Baking:
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the biscuits and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly, making it easier to cut and serve.
