This is a great comfort food recipe that I love to make on a cold winter day. It is also a hit at our church’s potluck dinners.
I’ve always been a fan of classic sloppy joes. There’s something so innately satisfying about the sweet and savory combination and messiness of it all! And I know you all love them too, since I’ve been getting a lot of requests for sloppy joe recipes.
There aren’t many dinners that you can get on the table faster than whipping up a Sloppy Joes. And while the store-bought sauce that rhymes with Sandwich might make this meal even quicker, it’s got some less-than-ideal ingredients. After all, I tend to avoid high fructose corn syrup in my sweets, much less my dinner.
Ingredients
1lb cooked extra lean ground beef
1 cup diced onions
1 can of sloppy joe sauce (manwich) 398ml
⅔ cup light shredded mozzarella cheese
1 7.5oz can of pillsbury biscuits (In the 4 value pack, you can use bigger biscuits and weigh out or increase points)
1.5 Tbsp melted reduced calorie margarine
2 cloves fresh garlic, diced
1 tsp dried oregano
How To Make It
Cook your ground beef and onions on the stove in a pan, drain.
Preheat oven to 350F, spray a 9 inch square dish.
Add your sauce to your meat and simmer on low for 5 minutes, stirring well.
Pour meat mixture into your dish, top with cheese.
Place 9 of your 10 biscuit dough pieces on top of mixture, you will have 1 extra biscuit.
Bake in oven for 14 minutes. Just before the time is up, melt margarine and add diced garlic and oregano. Remove dish from oven and using a small spoon drizzle your garlic butter over top of all your biscuits.
Return to oven for 6-8 minutes, until your biscuits are a golden brown.
