When I saw these little gems on my friend Shelley’s website, I knew we had to have them…that the boys would love them…and that they would make it on the regular rotation!
Our family pretty much loves anything sloppy joe related, these included. Instead of dropping these onto a bun, you bake the meat into biscuit dough.
You can totally make your own biscuit dough if you’re not into canned dough.
These babies are a simple dinner that takes just a few minutes to put together and bake. I had 2 little helpers helping me…if you look closely enough, you’l see a 2 year old arm in one of the picts below. Here’s how they work:
Beef and sauce.
Use a can from the store. Or make your own sloppy joe mix and sauce.
Biscuits ready to be flattened.
Place the dough into the muffin tin well and push it in a little. We LOVE this little square muffin pan because it’s just fun!
Then add the meat and it will ‘drop’ into the well.
Keep rolling and repeating.
Ready for the oven!
Baked.
Part with cheese, part without.
Take a bite.
Let it get sloppy.
