Can we talk about something that is near and dear to my heart?
Sloppy Joes.
I know. Such a weird thing to love as fiercely as I do, but I think it has something to do with the fact that I was DEPRIVED AS A CHILD.
Sure, I had a nice house, warm clothing with all the right labels, and more toys than one kid could need, but my mother never, not once, made me a sloppy joe for dinner.
In fact, I was an adult the first time I ever ate a sloppy joe. Grown, married, and with a child of my own.
Y’all. Sloppy joes are a thing in my house. I am making up for lost time. We eat them regularly and my kids obviously love it. What kind of kid doesn’t love sweet, tangy beef on a sandwich bun?!
Anyway, I love the flavors in traditional sloppy joes so much that I like to experiment with new ideas a bit. Take my sloppy joe dip for instance. Or my sloppy joe stuffed peppers. Orrrrr, how about my sloppy joe casserole with a cornbread base? I’m obsessed.
So, I took things a step further and made this sloppy joe pot pie. It’s good stuff.
My kids love it and it’s perfect for those nights when you’re craving a sloppy joe but you don’t have any sandwich buns on hand. I mean, who doesn’t have canned biscuits sitting around in the back of the fridge for emergencies? (If you don’t, give this a try with my dad’s famous homemade biscuits – they turn out perfect every time!)
Okay, friends. Go forth and feed your kid sloppy joes. I insist.
Serve this with my Nutella brownies for dessert and check out my taco casserole or enchilada casserole for your next dinner idea!

I’m making this in two days and baking it in an 8 qt slow cooker insert that is about 3 times deeper than a baking dish. I was wondering if I could put an additional layer of biscuits on the bottom if I pre-bake them. I would also put the layer on the top as the recipe calls for. I know its late so if I don’t hear back before then I’ll try it and let you know how it turns out. Thanks!

Hi Jerry! I think it would likely work fine, if you don’t mind the biscuits on bottom being a bit gooey. You may also want to double the sloppy joe layer or it’s going to be an awful lot of dough and not a lot of meat. 🙂

Silly question I guess. I just can’t handle the sloppy Joe store version sauce & would rather make my own. Here in the Mid West their called BBQ’s. I do like that sweet/tangy taste & know tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard are the basics & I thought BBQ sauce as well. Is this correct?
Karly says
BBQ sauce can be made in so many diffrent ways, but yes, it usually contains ketchup and often mustard. I have a bbq sauce recipe that’s really tangy, like a sloppy joe, if you want to give it a try: tangy Carolina BBQ sauce.
