How to Make Sloppy Joe Under A Bun

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can sloppy joe sauce and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour the sloppy joe mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sloppy joe mixture.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups Bisquick baking mix, 1 large egg, and 1 cup milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter evenly over the cheese layer.
  7. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over the top.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sloppy joe is bubbly.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
