Sloppy Joe Muffin Cups

Sloppy Joes get a cute twist! From our Bisquick Quick to the Table cookbook, this recipe features a savory sloppy joe filling in a fast Bisquick-and-cheese crust you press into regular muffin cups. They get topped with even more cheese, for a blanket of cheesiness. Each person gets their own serving of these cuties on their plate to enjoy, so there’s less mess to eat them than with regular sloppy joes (or you can use a fork or eat them with your hands, if you like—we won’t judge).

We love using red bell pepper in the sloppy joe mixture—it cleverly adds flavor while disguising the fact there are veggies in it—perfect for those kiddos that might have an aversion to eating their vegetables. But you can use whatever colored bell pepper, you like. This recipe is a cinch to make, requiring just 9 ingredients and 20 minutes of prep. Pop them into the oven while you gather the rest of the meal, and dinner is a breeze, any night of the week.

Wondering what to serve with these adorable dinner cups? We love paring them with a crunchy salad or creamy coleslaw. Add cut-up apple slices or potato chips and you have a quick dinner that takes the pressure off the age-old question, “what ‘s for dinner?” All with raving results.
