These Sloppy Joe Bombs bring together the best of comfort food in one irresistible package. The golden, crispy exterior gives way to a juicy, tangy beef filling that captures the essence of the classic Sloppy Joe.

Ingredients:

For the Sloppy Joe Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• ½ onion, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Bomb Base:

• 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
• Optional: Extra sesame seeds for topping

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring full coverage to prevent sticking.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and finely chopped onion over medium heat. Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks, ensuring even browning.
3. Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess grease carefully. This step ensures your bombs aren't greasy.
4. Stir in the ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens and the flavors meld together beautifully.
5. Take each biscuit and gently flatten it into a thin round using your hands or a rolling pin. Be careful not to tear the dough.
6. Place a generous spoonful of the Sloppy Joe mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
7. Carefully bring the edges of the biscuit up and around the filling. Pinch the edges together firmly to seal, forming a tight ball shape.
8. Place the sealed bombs on the prepared baking sheet with the sealed side facing down. If desired, sprinkle a few sesame seeds on top for extra flavor and texture.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through. The exterior should be crispy and the cheese melted.
