How to Make Double-Cheese Sloppy Joe Biscuit Bombs
Prepare to embark on a culinary journey as you bring together the carefully crafted components of this recipe, resulting in a visually stunning and flavor-packed masterpiece that will impress and delight your senses.
Step 1 — Prepare the Biscuit Dough and Sloppy Joe Filling
Begin by making the tender, flaky biscuit dough. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the chilled, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the buttermilk until a soft dough forms. Refrigerate the dough while you prepare the sloppy joe filling.
Step 2 — Assemble the Biscuit Bombs
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Place a spoonful of the sloppy joe filling into the center of each circle, then top with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal and create a half-moon shape.
Step 3 — Bake to Perfection
Carefully transfer the assembled biscuit bombs to a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to leave a little space between each one. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 4 — Finish with Flair
Remove the biscuit bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the tops with a whiskey-maple glaze, adding a touch of elegance and a caramelized crunch to the already irresistible dish. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley, if desired, to enhance the refined presentation.
Chef Tips & Variations
- Spice it Up: For a bolder flavor, add a teaspoon of chili powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sloppy joe filling.

- Veggie-Packed Filling: Sauté diced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms to incorporate into the sloppy joe filling for a nutritious twist.
