Ingredients
Ground beef (1/2 lb, 80/20 lean ratio)
Vegetable oil, for browning
Sloppy Joe sauce (1/2 cup, pork-free brand or homemade)
Xanthan gum (1 tsp, optional for homemade sauce emulsion)
Refrigerated flaky biscuits (4 large)
Shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup)
Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
Jalapeños, sliced (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Place ground beef in oven for 10 minutes to reduce moisture before browning
Cook beef in a skillet until browned, drain excess fat
Mix Sloppy Joe sauce with xanthan gum (if using)
Layer 2 biscuits in a 9×13-inch baking dish
Top with 1/2 of the beef mixture, 1/4 cup sauce, and 1/2 cup cheese
Repeat layers with remaining biscuits, beef, sauce, and cheese
Bake 20 minutes until biscuits are golden and cheese is bubbly
Notes
Avoid commercial Sloppy Joe sauces containing pork; check labels.
For vegetarian version, substitute ground turkey or plant-based crumbles
Xanthan gum prevents sauce from separating during baking
Overlapping biscuits traps steam for even rise
Let casserole rest 5 minutes before slicing for cleaner layers
