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.
