I usually keep a can of sloppy joe sauce in the pantry, because our kids love sloppy joes. But sometimes I don't have buns on hand. With this fun casserole, we can still enjoy the flavor that they love in a flash. The bun-like top crust is made with biscuit mix, sprinkled with sesame seeds and baked until golden. -Trish Bloom, Ray, Michigan

Good concept, turned out perfectly but the taste was a disappointment. Our family isn't the kind that likes everything super hot or spicy but we found this to be very bland. If I wanted to try this again I would have change the seasoning a lot.

My grandchildren love this recipe. So much so, that I double the ingredients to make a larger batch. I do add extra sauce, the kids love the sloppiness of the dish...

I use 2 lbs. of ground turkey and add an additional 1/3 cup of ketchup to the sauce. Evens out the bun to meat ratio. This is my husbands favorite meal. It makes even better leftovers!

Sorry but I am not sure what the raves are about. I thought, after tasting it, that my sloppy joes tasted better IN the bun

Sounds good but I would cut calories by using Red. Fat Bisquick and 2% cheese. I can't wait to make it for church luncheon. thanks PAchef

I LOVE this recipe! I've used it for years! It takes the mess out of Sloppy Joes. I can even hide veggies, like bell peppers, onions and carrots, in the hamburger mix. Great recipe!
