Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 ounces) kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) sloppy joe sauce
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 8 pieces (standard tube) canned biscuit dough
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the drained kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. Cook for 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 5

Add the sloppy joe sauce, tomato paste, water, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 6

Transfer the beef and bean mixture to a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Arrange the biscuit dough pieces on top of the mixture, leaving some space between each biscuit to allow for expansion during baking.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the biscuits.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
