Ingredients

2 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion diced
1 small green bell seeded and diced
1 medium carrot peeled and diced
2 medium potatoes bite size cubes
3 clove garlic minced
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
seasoned salt and black pepper
2 16 oz cans sloppy joe sauce See Cook's note
1/2 cup beef broth plus additional as needed to thin
1 cup frozen petite peas
Cheddar Drop Biscuits Recipe:
3 cup White Lily self-rising flour
1 tsp garlic powder
3/4 cup cold butter cubed and divided
1 cup whole buttermilk
2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 green onion finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet, over medium-high heat saute the diced onion, carrot and bell pepper in a couple of drizzles of olive oil. Season with seasoned salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and beginning to brown.
Add the ground beef and cubed potatoes. Cook until no pink remains in the ground beef, and the potatoes are fork tender, around 12-15 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan, then add the minced garlic, soy sauce, sloppy joe sauce and beef broth. Cook just until heated through.
Remove from the stovetop and add the frozen peas. Mix well. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Biscuits: Sift together the self-rising flour and garlic powder.
Cut 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp cold butter into the flour until it resembles cornmeal.
Add the cheddar cheese and diced onion. Toss until combined.
Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk. Stir through until the dry ingredients are fully moistened.
Use a 4 oz ice cream scoop to divide the dough into even portions. Arrange on top of the filling. Melt the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and brush the tops.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden, bubbly and the biscuits are cooked through.
