Meat Moisture: Don't overcook the sloppy joe base - keep it slightly saucy so it doesn't dry out during baking.

Biscuit Spacing: Leave small gaps between biscuits to allow cheese to bubble through for maximum appeal.

Cheese Choice: Mix sharp and mild cheddar for deeper flavor, or add pepper jack for spicy kick.

Make Ahead: Prepare sloppy joe mixture day before and refrigerate, then assemble and bake when ready.

Temperature Check: Ensure meat mixture is hot when assembling so biscuits cook properly from bottom up.

Customization: Add jalapeños, corn, or black beans to meat mixture for extra flavor and texture.
