  • Turn off oven, and remove pan. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Return to the oven for a few minutes for the cheese to melt.

Notes

  • Be sure to grab the flaky style refrigerated biscuits (but not the jumbo size). The recipe makes eight Sloppy Joe Cups but be sure to use a regular-size muffin tin - not the mini muffin tins.
  • You will need to press the biscuits into the tin because each cup gets a good-size scoop of the meat mixture.
  • A regular sized ice cream scoop is the perfect amount of sloppy joe filling. 
  • If you don't have Colby Jack cheese, just use your favorite cheese. You can't go wrong with cheese!
  • Don't be afraid to let the sides of the biscuits get golden brown while in the oven. This will ensure that the bottom and sides are baked through as well.
  • While we don't think you will have leftovers, Barbara does say these re-heat nicely for an easy workday lunch or a quick evening meal. Just add a salad or your favorite vegetable as a side and you are ready to go.
