### Instructions
1. **Preheat & Brown:** Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (like a cast iron skillet) over medium-high heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease.
2. **Sauté Veggies:** Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked meat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.
3. **Simmer the Sloppy Joe Base:** Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. **Add Creaminess & Cheese:** Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes, condensed cream of mushroom soup, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until well combined and the cheese has melted.
5. **Top with Biscuits:** Remove the skillet from the heat. Open the package of biscuit dough. Arrange the biscuits evenly over the top of the sloppy joe mixture. You can leave them whole or cut them into halves or quarters for more coverage.
6. **Bake to Golden Perfection:** Sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese over the biscuits. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
7. **Serve & Enjoy:** Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve hot and savor every comforting bite!
### Short Tips
* **Spice it Up:** For a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Sloppy Joe mixture.
* **Veggie Boost:** Feel free to add other finely diced vegetables like carrots or celery along with the onion and bell pepper.
* **Cheese Please:** Experiment with different types of cheese! Monterey Jack or a Colby-Jack blend would also be delicious.
* **Biscuit Hacks:** If you don’t have refrigerated biscuits, you can use homemade biscuit dough or even a cornbread topping for a different twist.
* **Make Ahead:** You can prepare the Sloppy Joe filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to bake, heat it gently on the stovetop, then top with biscuits and bake as directed.
