Baked Sloppy Joes

If you don’t know it yet, I’ll tell you “I’m cheap”.

Yes, I admit it, its just not the hubby that is cheap, I’m just as skeptical on everything with a dollar sign.

With that being said, I enjoy yummy food. Cheap yummy food that I can make at home.

Along with that I need things to be EASY as well as cheap. Cheap & Easy, yep that’s how I like them.

So the other day, in need of trying something new, the hubby suggested picking a recipe from Publix.

Flashback: Back in the magical days before children, we would walk down to our local Publix, choose a recipe there, buy the fixings and have a “romantic” dinner in. *sigh*

Since we are now located in California, we don’t have the option of walking to our local Publix. But thanks to the internet, I can access all their recipes online.

So here comes the good part.

Baked Sloppy Joes (you can drool now)

Check out the OFFICIAL recipe here.

But for a tad EASIER way …

·      1 lb. Ground Beef

·      1 ½ cups Pasta Sauce

·      ½ BBQ sauce

·      ½ cup cheddar cheese

·      1 pkg. 8 count Philsbury Homestyle Biscuits

Preheat oven to 425.
Brown ground beef in pan.
Add PASTA & BBQ Sauce.
Bring to boil.
Move mixture to 2 quart baking dish.
Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Place UNCOOKED biscuits on top.
Cook to Biscuits packaged directions.

Viola!

Easy, and just a tad cheaper than original recipe.

Note: Not really on the healthy side, so have a side salad.

This recipe was SO good. I really had no idea what I was getting into with this. But it was 5 stars across the board. Meaning: Hubby, BOTH kids & I loved it.

This is definitely a keeper.

I didn’t decide to take pictures till we had nearly finished.

Husband stated that everything looked like a bloody cat. Um, gross. Super gross. Maybe these are bad pictures, but as I was eating I thought these pictures looked heavenly.
