Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) sloppy joe sauce
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 8 pieces (standard tube) canned biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the drained kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. Cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
Add the sloppy joe sauce, tomato paste, water, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Transfer the beef and bean mixture to a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Arrange the biscuit dough pieces on top of the mixture, leaving some space between each biscuit to allow for expansion during baking.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
