Instructions

Prepare Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, open the can and separate the dough. For homemade, prepare your biscuit dough as desired and set aside.
Cook Meat Mixture: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned (about 7-10 minutes). Drain excess fat. Stir in diced onions and bell peppers if using, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Add Sloppy Joe sauce, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Assemble Casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the meat mixture evenly into the bottom of a casserole dish. Arrange biscuits on top of the meat. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the biscuits.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite sides!

Notes

1️⃣ Customize to Taste: Add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra texture and flavor, or spice it up with chili flakes or cayenne pepper for a kick.

2️⃣ Prevent Soggy Biscuits: Place a thin layer of cheese on the meat mixture before arranging the biscuits on top to keep them from soaking up too much sauce.

3️⃣ Make Ahead & Freeze: Assemble the casserole ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze it, and bake fresh when needed for a convenient, stress-free meal.
