It’s been a rainy few days here in Dallas and I’m not gonna lie, I kinda like it! It’s such a good excuse to lay low at home and fill ourselves with warm comforting food!
We started the week with this delicious Sloppy Joe Casserole and we all love it! The boys get such a kick out of me saying Sloppy Joe Casserole! Not sure if it’s the way I’m saying it or just the name Sloppy Joe, but they crack up every time! And in between laughs, they gobbled it up! Yay!!!

This recipe was created as part of my partnership with Gold Medal Flour however thoughts and opinions are certainly my own!
- 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 large white onion, diced
- 1 large green bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- ¾ cup ketchup
- 2 cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/3 cup milk
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and let sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard and garlic salt. Add the tomato sauce and ketchup and stir until well combined. Let mixture simmer over low heat while you prepare the topping.
- For the topping, add the flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl. Stir in the milk, melted butter, and eggs until well combined. Fold in the shredded cheese.

September 14, 2014 at 4:01 amCould this be made as a freezer meal? Would you freeze prior to baking?
Maegan says
September 15, 2014 at 6:44 amHi Allyson! I’ve never frozen it, so I can’t say for sure, but I think it would freeze just fine if you wrap it well in the freezer and let it defrost before baking. Let me know if you try it! Enjoy!

September 27, 2016 at 7:37 pmThis recipe is so easy. The harest part for me was trying to spread the dough evenly. Another easy ground beef recipe to add to my collection…

February 12, 2017 at 3:19 pmFor the breakfast casserole., I can’t use reg flour cause have celiac disease., so can I use domata flour g/f instead.
Maegan says
February 13, 2017 at 12:57 pmHi Ada! I couldn’t say for sure how the casserole would turn out because I don’t bake regularly with gluten-free flour and haven’t tested it with this recipe. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

March 4, 2017 at 5:12 pmHi Maegan, Do you think I could make this one day before baking it? It sounds great for our next family party!
Maegan says
March 5, 2017 at 7:26 amHi Sheree! Yes, just prepare it and let the meat mixture cool completely before covering tightly and storing in the refrigerator overnight. When you’re ready to bake it, place the casserole in the oven while it preheats and it should be ready in the same amount of baking time as the recipe calls for. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

April 1, 2017 at 11:44 pmThis is a great recipe, my whole family loved it. We will be making this a lot. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Debra says
July 17, 2017 at 2:50 pmI’ve been making Sloppy Joes with no mix forever!, but never put a crust on top. We all LOVED this!! I can’t eat bell peppers so I substituted celery. Thank you !
Nikki says
December 8, 2017 at 3:05 pmHave you ever made the crust as a stand alone biscuit? Do you think it would work, because the crust is soooo good!
Maegan says
December 16, 2017 at 8:37 amHi Nikki! I haven’t, but that is such a great idea! Yum yum! If you try it, I would recommend rolling the dough out onto a well-floured surface as the dough is pretty wet so it would definitely need more flour to hold the biscuit shape. Let me know how they turn out if you try it. Enjoy!

August 21, 2018 at 7:53 pmIn the south, my mama made ‘drop biscuits’ . Basically, wet dough dropped by the spoonful on greased pan and baked. They were delicious, though not perfectly round.

January 12, 2019 at 8:12 pmMy family loved this casserole, so easy to make. It is a keeper in my recipes.
Joanne says
April 4, 2019 at 5:51 pmWe used almond flour and unsweetened almond milk and organic eggs and it was really good, plus we put sour cream on top. Yum. I’m doing keto so the modification works.
