An Easy Family Friendly Side Dish
Weeknight dinners at my house test my patience in a major way.
Forget the fact that getting us all home at the same time and sitting down at the table is a minor miracle…
But finding a meal that isn’t met with complaints or “constructive criticism” is basically like spotting a Yeti.
Get me?
The Best BBQ Sloppy Joe Muffin Recipe
So when I come across dinner ideas that are easy (yay me) and tasty (yay them) I keep them in the rotation.
And when I first started sharing dinner ideas here and there on my site I promised to only share meals that we actually eat on the regular.
With that said, I know I’m not reinventing the wheel here with these BBQ Sloppy Joe Muffins, but we do eat these, and we love them. So there’s that.
Tips and Tricks on Sloppy Joe Biscuit Muffins:
They’re uber simple. Just chop up a little onion and cook it with some chopped meat and garlic.
Meanwhile flatten some canned biscuits.
I have tried this recipe with homemade biscuit dough and it’s not really worth all the trouble. But please, if you prefer homemade dough, feel free.
Place the flattened biscuits in a sprayed muffin pan like this…
Mix your cooked meat with a little BBQ sauce…
And scoop it into the muffins…
Then top with cheese.
Pop them in the oven for just a few minutes and bam! Dunzo!
We also like these mixed with Marinara sauce instead of BBQ and topped with mozzarella for an Italian muffin cup. Simple and totally adaptable!
Hope you like them too!

I was thinking of making these in the mini muffin size to take to are Bunco group. We all bring snacks. Do you think cutting the muffin in half would work? And how long do you think to bake?
Yes, cutting it in half would work. And I would bake them for 7-10
Super easy to make and the whole family loved them.

So glad you liked them!
I used to make these 30+ years ago for my boys and they loved them. Thanks for reminding me of how easy and tasty they are. My recipe came from Pillsbury and I think they were a Pillsbury Bake Off recipe.
I made these last night, & we loved them! So yummy & easy to make. Can’t wait to try Italian & Mexican versions.
As I live by myself, I make up several different meat mixtures (Mexican, Italian and BBQ, can also use sausage)) and freeze in small containers. You can also use soft tortillas, pie crust or filo sheets. You can make them ahead (leave off cheese till reheating) and freeze. I love recipes like this, few ingredients and easy to make!
