How to make sloppy Joe casserole (video)

Print this recipe
When thinking of sloppy Joes, a few things come to mind: Adam Sandler, the school lunch lady and Friday night dinners when I was a kid. It's one of those foods that just oozes nostalgia — that and a spicy meat filling! This recipe is a play on that classic school lunch. We have turned that all-star sandwich into a utterly delectable biscuit and cheese casserole.
You'll first need to brown the ground beef in a large skillet before adding it to the casserole dish. Add some tomato, brown sugar and spices, and you have homemade sloppy Joes! The fluffy premade biscuits act as the bun and can be baked right on top of the seasoned ground beef. Finally, some cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses melted on top will satisfy your family's cheese craving!
