Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough
Cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
3. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the beef. Cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
4. Stir in garlic, ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thick.
5. Open biscuit dough and press each biscuit into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin tin cups.
6. Spoon the sloppy joe filling evenly into each biscuit cup.
7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
8. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan before serving.
Notes
Use a metal muffin tin for best biscuit crisping and shape.
Taste the filling before baking and adjust seasoning or add hot sauce.
Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep the biscuit texture crispy.
