I made some sloppy joe in the crock pot and then realized we didn't have any buns. YIKES!! So I improvised and it turned out great. It was a nice change from the normal sandwich.
Sloppy Joe Cheese Melts
adapted from Betty Crocker
Crust:
2 cups Bisquick mix
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
Meat mixture or use 1 batch Crockpot Sloppy Joes
1 pound hamburger
1/4 cup chopped green peppers
1/4 cup onion
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups ketchup
2 cups shredded cheese
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl stir Bisquick, milk and egg until well mixed. Pour and spread into the pan. Bake 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Top will not be brown.
If using the crockpot version, just spread it on top. Skip this step. One less thing to do.
Brown hamburger with the green peppers and onion. Drain. Stir in ketchup and brown sugar and cook until everything is hot.
Spread hot beef mixture over baked bread base. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.

ReplyDeleteQuick thinking! I like it-Happy Weekend:@)
ReplyDeleteThis is just the kind of meal that my kids would like. I like the cheese just covering the top too. Looks delicious. Joni
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome way to reinvent the sloppy joe! I think I saw a recipe for a sloppy joe pizza and this is almost what that is.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made anything like this in so long! It looks wonderful, and I'm sure my family would appreciate a delicious and fun meal like this. Thanks for the recipe - and it even looks easy!
ReplyDeleteOh, can I just remember how MANY nights I look in the fridge, to find out I ran out of hamburger buns.. This is PERFECT for when I'm struggling for an idea for dinner some night. I've always got ground beef in the freezer, and ketchup and shredded cheese in the fridge.. They're pretty much basic staples 'round here, so I really like this recipe!! I'm betting Dear Son will love this too, so thanks for sharing the recipe!.. Happy Mother's Day to you, and have a great weekend! ~tina
ReplyDeleteGreat save! Biscuits, sloppy joes and cheese sounds like pure comfort food.
ReplyDeleteI like to use bisquick when I cook. I like the looks of the sloppy joes. I think I'll make it too. I am following your blog now. Check our blog out sometime.

ReplyDeleteOh looks awesome~ I'm a cheese lover..love it even more when it melts..
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Now I want to play around with my Angel Biscuit dough and create this yummy dinner. In this house, Honey loves sloppy joes. This should make him happy. thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea, Tiffanee! I bet that Bisquick layer soaked up all that Sloppy Joe goodness.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing...Wishing YOU a wonderful Mother's Day!!!
Great idea! It sounds delicious and would make sloppy joes less sloppy as I am always the one to end up with the meat down my shirt :)
