Water: We add an amount of water to balance out the thickness of the ketchup and create a saucy texture. It plays a role behind the scenes keeping everything flowing seamlessly.
Brown Sugar: Brown sugar introduces a sweetness that takes the flavor profile up a notch. If you’re feeling adventurous feel free to adjust the amount according to your personal taste preferences. Want a bit of sweetness? Maybe a touch less? You have control, over how your casserole turns out.

Garlic Powder: Just a teaspoon of powder adds savory notes to your casserole. It’s like a whisper of garlic that enhances the dish delightfully.
Onion Powder: Complementing the garlic powder, onion powder adds an essence of onion. Together they create a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate.
Salt: Salt plays an unsung hero role by balancing all the flavors ensuring harmony. It’s like the conductor in this flavor orchestra making sure every note hits right.
Biscuits: Think of biscuits as blankets embracing the Sloppy Joe mixture. Cutting them into quarters allows them to soak up all that deliciousness. You have the option to use store-bought biscuits for convenience or go out with ones for that extra personalized touch.
