If you have a favorite Sloppy Joe recipe, you can certainly use it as the meat mixture for this meal in place of the recipe described to this point. Whatever meat mixture you are using, stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Be sure the mixture is very moist (but not watery) as it will be baked along with the biscuits.
• 6. Take the meat mixture off the heat and arrange the refrigerator biscuits evenly over the top of the meat mixture.

If you are cooking outdoors with hot briquets and a 12" camp-style Dutch oven (one that has three legs and a lid that is concave and has a lip to hold the briquets in place), place 8 briquets under the cast-iron Dutch oven and 24 on the lid. Bake, covered, until the biscuits are golden brown. If you have never used your cast iron Dutch oven outdoors with briquets, this is a great recipe for starters. It is very easy to get wonderful results! This can also be made in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or an enamel coated Dutch oven.
