Sloppy Joe Casserole is a quick and easy casserole recipe that is perfect for dinner! It’s the perfect recipe for a family dinner that screams comfort food. All your favorite flavors from sloppy joes with a crust made from Bisquick that’s easy and delicious!
Raise your hand if you grew up eating sloppy joes! You know, those hot ground beef sandwiches with the tangy sauce served on hamburger buns? We actually called them Barbecues growing up, but I think that’s a midwestern thing! So, sloppy joes – barbecues, whatever you want to call them they are a comforting family-friendly dinner, right?
Well, we’re getting our sloppy joe on today but we’re doing it as a casserole instead. A big, bubbling hot sloppy joe casserole topped with a super easy crust that’s ready to serve in less than an hour!
You guys know how cold it gets here in the winter because I’m pretty sure I write about it every year! Don’t get me wrong, I love a Minnesota winter but it’s absolutely necessary to have all kinds of hearty and comforting dinners to help us get through! Chili and Chicken Pot Pie Casserole are two of our favorites and, of course, this Sloppy Joe Casserole.
You can definitely serve this easy casserole year-round, but around here it goes into heavy rotation during the cold weather months. Plus, it’s one of those dinners I know will please everyone – the hubby loves it, the kiddos gobble it up, and I love it, too, because it’s easy to make and the leftovers reheat well.

Tasty but a real artery clogger and at 805 calories a serving with more carbs and fat than most adults should consume in a day gotta do this just once in a while!
Courtney says
It’s okay to treat ourselves every once in a while! Just make sure to pair it with some vegetables.
Lisa says
Made this last night and the Bisquick soaked up all of my meat, so it is more sloppy joe flavored Bisquick – which was so good too. I wonder if 2 lbs of meat in the sauce would have helped? Or do a smaller baking dish then a 9×13. Any suggestions?
Julie says
Hmmm, it soaked up the meat? Or the sloppy joe sauce? I think making it in a smaller baking dish would be fine.

Thank you for this! My husband and I love sloppy joes and since it is just the two of us I never have buns around any more, so this will be perfect! My own personal sloppy joe recipe, from Southern Minnesota back in the 50’s and 60’s is not with sloppy joe sauce but with concentrated chicken gumbo soup and then you “write your first name with mustard and your last name with ketchup in the ground beef mixture!!! No kidding, I don’t know what happens if your first name is longer than your last because you really want more ketchup than mustard! I just dump and eye ball it now and add only onions, celery and green pepper to the meat. I have also substituted 1/2 the ground beef with finely diced mushrooms and that is pretty dang tasty! Found this suggestion in some heart healthy information. I cannot wait to try this! Your recipes are good for us retired old people too! Thank you again for the recipe!
Julie says
Thanks for sharing that, Gail! I hadn’t heard of spelling your name in mustard and ketchup but I do understand dumping and eyeballing for sloppy joes! I’m glad you love my recipes and I hope you enjoy this one as well!
