Description
This Sloppy Joe Casserole takes the messy, saucy classic and turns it into a hearty, family-style bake. With layers of seasoned ground beef in a tangy tomato sauce, topped with cheesy goodness and golden biscuits (or pasta, if you like), it’s comforting, filling, and perfect for weeknight dinners. Think of it as the ultimate twist on an American favorite—less messy, but just as delicious.
