A classic dish done a different way! These Baked Sloppy Joes have all the classic flavor that you love but we skipped the bun and baked them in a biscuit. 

Baked Sloppy Joes

I’m sure you can guess by just looking at them but this was a favorite for the kids. I couldn’t believe how much my 4-year old ate! He even wanted leftovers for lunch the next day. And as you know getting kids to eat leftovers can be like pulling teeth. I made a classic sloppy Joe recipe but added a little something extra for a thicker sauce that worked perfectly for this recipe. Try it out and let me know how your family liked it.

Baked Sloppy Joes Instructions:

Time to get cooking! Start by cooking and crumbling ground turkey. Make sure you are using a large enough skillet or swallow pot to add the rest of the ingredients to the same dish. Once cooked drain fat then return back to the stove top. Add in diced onions and allow them to cook for about  2-3 minutes. To your turkey add tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, and brown sugar. Mix well then add cornstarch. Again allow cooking again for 2-3 minutes to thicken. Preheat oven to what your biscuit dough instructions have called for. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Flatten out each biscuit then add a spoon full of your sloppy Joe mix in. Fold over and press to seal with a fork. Place on your prepared baking sheet and repeat. Spray the tops of your biscuits with the cooking spray then bake. Bake according to your package instructions. Mine took about 10-13 minutes. Once baked serve and enjoy. 

Cooking Tip:

I like adding cornstarch to this recipe to get a thicker sauce. I feel like it stays in the biscuit better and will not leak out during baking. I also use a fork to press and seal both sides of the biscuit. Make sure not to overfill!
