I'm a busy working mom of two and I know how hard it can be to find time to cook a healthy meal. That's why I love this recipe for Steffi's Sloppy Beef Bloats.
It's quick and easy to make, and it's a hit with my family. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover ground beef. I usually make a double batch and freeze half of it for later. That way, I always have a quick and easy meal on hand.
Here are a few tips for making Steffi's Sloppy Beef Bloats:
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can fry the bloats in a large skillet with about an inch of oil.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the bloats. They will need room to expand.
- Serve the bloats with your favorite dipping sauce. I like to serve them with ketchup and mustard.
Step-by-step
- In a frying pan, brown ground beef and onion. Drain any grease.
- Mix in one can of your favorite sloppy joe sauce.
- Set aside to cool.
- Open the can of biscuits and either roll or stretch out to about five inches round.
- Heat about two inches of oil in another pan, or use a "Fry Daddy" type deep fryer.
- Into the center of each flattened biscuit, add a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture.
- Fold and pinch edges together and gently drop into heated oil.
- Fry until golden brown, a couple of minutes. They will swell (bloat) up. Hence, why I call them "Bloats"!
