Yum, yum, yum! My husband had been talking about having sloppy joes for dinner, so I started looking up recipes for them. I remembered that Lori at My Kinda Rain had a recipe for Sloppy Joe Turnovers, and since I had a can of Grands biscuits in the refrigerator, I decided to give them a try! I did use a different filling than she did, but then made them turnovers. Eventually, I would like to come up with my own biscuit recipe to use instead of biscuits from a can, but I have some work on my bread and biscuit skills to do first. I like the turnovers because they aren’t as messy….which I know pretty much defeats the purpose of them being “sloppy” joes, but it’s nice when you have small kids. I paired this with Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup, and it was a great, filling meal!
Sloppy Joe Turnovers
What you need:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can biscuits (I used Grand biscuits, but regular biscuits can be used as well)
How to make it:
Preheat oven to 375 F.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. Drain any fat. Add chopped onion and cook until onions are soft. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes to let it thicken.
Roll out each biscuit to about 1/4″ thickness. Scoop about 1/4 cup of meat mixture onto each biscuit. Fold in half and press edges together well. Place all on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
