Sloppy Joe Boats

IMG_7508

When you’re not really sure what to fix for dinner crazy (and sometimes delicious) things can happen.  I go through cycles of being really proactive about planning meals.  Then, I fall off the wagon and we’re lucky to eat more than grilled cheese (or whatever Jamie or I grab on the way home).  We didn’t really feel like going anywhere, but we didn’t have anything planned.  My mom used to make us biscuit pizza when we were little, so I gave this a whirl.

Ingredients

  • 8 ct. biscuits (not flaky)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (or your favorite BBQ sauce)
  • 3 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. mustard
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • pepper, to taste
  • Pickles (optional – yuck)
  • Shredded cheese

Directions

  1. Saute the garlic in a few drops of olive oil for one minute.
  2. Add ground beef, and cook until no longer pink.
  3. Drain grease from meat.
  4. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup (or BBQ), brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper until well combined.
  5. Simmer for a few minutes until heated through.
  6. Spray the pan with non-stick.  I used my 8 loaf pan.  You could use a muffin pan (half the biscuits).
  7. Spread the biscuit out in the pan.
  8. Top with sloppy joe.  You could also add some pickles on here…
  9. Top with shredded cheese
  10. Bake at 350 for the time listed on biscuits.
