Let's Get Cookin!

1) Prep Veggies: Finely dice all your vegetable.

2) Cook Veggies: add a few turns around the pan of your oil and let it heat up to medium. Add in your vegetables (onion, garlic, carrots and mushrooms) and let them sauté for about 8-10 minutes, so they get nice and soft.

3) Move the veggies toward the perimeter of the pan and add your ground meat into the middle. Crumble and cook until no longer pink. Then, gently incorporate the vegetables and season with salt and pepper.

4) Add all of your sauce ingredients right into the pan and stir until well mixed with all of your ingredients. Stir and simmer until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and put into a bowl.

5) Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees and spray your muffin tins with some non-stick cooking spray. You will not fill up both pans so you only need to spray for 16.

6) Open up the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit in half, then flatten and spread on the counter or cutting board. Firmly press the biscuit dough into the bottom and up the sides of each muffin cup.

7) Spoon sloppy joe mixture into cups, filling about 2/3 of the way (be sure to press it in because it will 'shrink' when you cook it and you want these full).

8) Sprinkle the top of each muffin with cheddar cheese.

9) Bake for 13-16 minutes until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, let cool, then pop them out of their tins and take them wherever dinner takes you!

Enjoy! And be sure to leave me a note if you love this recipe.
