Sloppy Joe Bread Rolls

Every time I make sloppy joes, I like to use at least a few pounds of ground beef and portion the cooked mixture into resealable bags to freeze for future meals. The seasoned meat not only keeps well in the freezer but it’s also versatile and can be used in a number of scrumptious ways.

We love sloppy joes served traditionally in hamburger buns as well as in sliders, pasta casseroles, and our ultimate favorite, in bread rolls.

These sloppy joe rolls are quick and easy to make with refrigerated biscuits which bake into soft, fluffy buns around the savory beef filling. There is no yeast and proofing required. Just pop a tube of biscuits, flatten them out, stuff with the meat, shape into balls to seal the filling, and bake!

How to Make Homemade Sloppy Joe Sauce

The main flavor component of sloppy joes is the sweet and tangy tomato gravy. You can use storebought sloppy joe sauce if you like but I highly suggest making it from scratch.

Homemade requires only a handful of ingredients and takes but a few more minutes than opening a can yet it tastes infinitely better. Just stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, vinegar, brown sugar to the pan of browned ground beef and allow to simmer until it’s nice and thick.

Tips for Making Sloppy Joe Bread Rolls

  • Sloppy Joe is our stuffing of choice for these bread buns at home but you can also try Cuban picadillo or tamale pie filling if you want to switch things up.
  • I like to add mushrooms to the beef mixture but feel free to add bell peppers as well for an extra layer of color and flavor.
  • Make sure to reduce the liquid to almost dry. You want the meat saucy but not overly wet. Allow to slightly cool, so the steam from the heat doesn’t tear through the biscuit dough.
  • Do not overfill the biscuits so they’ll seal properly and won’t burst.
  • Want to make them cheesy? Top the filling with shredded Cheddar Jack or Mozzarella before enclosing in the biscuits.
  • I usually brush the tops with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and dried herbs before baking. Sesame or poppy seeds are also good options.

    Somehow, I managed to bring home Grands Cinnamon Rolls instead of the biscuits. I used them anyway, which was a challenge to get them to hold together. I love the meat mixture. Looking forward to trying them again with Grands biscuits.
