Notes

Be sure to use a large oven-safe skillet for cooking the meat and vegetables.
Before storing leftovers, make sure that all ingredients have been cooled down completely before sealing them in airtight containers to ensure maximum freshness while storing.
Only simmer your sauce for a minute so y don't reduce your sauce too much or you'll end up with a dry sloppy joe and who wants that?

Storage:
Before baking, you can store the sloppy joes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Before serving, top with biscuits and bake.
Sloppy Joe’s can be frozen before adding the biscuits.
