Recipe Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make Sloppy Joe Casserole.

Ground Beef: You want 2 lb of 90% lean ground beef here–just enough fat to help cook the vegetables. The meat will get coated in sauce, so no need for extra fat to lend moisture.

Tomato Sauce: Use a whole can of tomato sauce (don’t confuse it with tomato puree). If you can’t find a 15 oz can, use just under 2 cups of sauce.

Sharp Cheddar Cheese: We added cheese to really take this casserole over the top. It adds a lot of gooey texture and flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer no cheese.

Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits: We love Flaky Layers Biscuits for a light, delicate biscuit topping.  

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic, salt, tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, paprika.

MEATBALL STROGANOFF BUBBLE-UP BAKE

A big plate of rich, creamy beef stroganoff is tempting, but the prep and cleanup can be overwhelming on a busy weeknight. This recipe delivers the same satisfying flavors with less effort! Our bubble-up bake features a tangy mushroom cream base, juicy beef meatballs, and the convenience of Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Biscuits instead of noodles to soak up the sauce. Let your oven do the heavy lifting; you deserve the extra time and one of our best casserole recipes in your dinner rotation.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS 

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this bubble-up bake.

Mushrooms: They’re an important component of stroganoff. We used fresh cremini, but button or baby bellas also work well. We sliced them, but pre-sliced ones are a handy shortcut.

Frozen, Cooked Beef Meatballs: Meatballs add the beef to the stroganoff! Use fully cooked, frozen meatballs; no thawing needed! We tested dinner-sized and bite-sized with great results, so pick the one that works best for you.

Progresso™ Creamy Mushroom Soup: Soup adds creaminess and mushroom flavor to the casserole.

Sour Cream: Sour cream helps give stroganoff its creamy texture and signature tang. Use full fat sour cream.

Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Original Biscuits: We found this variety worked best, but use Flaky Layers if that’s what you have on hand.

Monterey Jack Cheese: What’s a bubble-up bake without cheese? Melty Jack adds loads of flavor and gooey decadence. We use pre-shredded, but shred it if you prefer for the ultimate cheese pulls!

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Salt, garlic powder, thyme, olive oil, onion, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, parsley.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits: These create a fluffy, golden topping that makes this dish feel like old-fashioned comfort food.

Other Ingredients You’ll Need: Frozen mixed veggies are a pot pie must-have! Bonus: they come already cut into bite-size pieces, so you don’t have to spend time chopping. Heavy cream and flour help create a rich, silky gravy, and poultry seasoning gives this dish a nice, savory, homemade flavor.
