Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can canned biscuit dough (8-count)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-count muffin tin.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Separate the biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin into a 4-inch circle.

Step 7

Press each flattened biscuit into the prepared muffin tin, creating a cup shape.

Step 8

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the Sloppy Joe mixture into each biscuit cup.

Step 9

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each cup.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing the cups from the muffin tin. Serve warm.
