How to Make Cheesy Sloppy Joe Bombs
These Cheesy Sloppy Joe Bombs are only five ingredients and can be made in a snap! There is recipe card at the bottom of this post if you want to scroll down, but I know some people like to have visual step by steps, so please feel free to make your recipe along with these photos!
First, you’ll need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Next, grease the muffin tin and set it aside. Then, you’re going to make the filling. So, combine the sloppy joe sauce and ground beef in a small mixing bowl.
Doesn’t this filling look delicious? When you are done mixing, set it aside. Next, you’re going to form the bombs with the crescent roll dough.
Place one crescent roll in each muffin cup. Press the dough into the muffin tin and against the sides to create a sturdy base for the Cheesy Sloppy Joe Bombs. Spoon approximately two tablespoons of sloppy joe mixture onto each crescent roll in the cup.
Next, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filling for your Cheesy Sloppy Joe Bombs. I used cheddar, but you can choose whatever kind of cheese your family likes the best. If you really like a lot of cheese, you can use more than I have to make it extra cheesy!
The last step before baking these bombs is to pinch together the dough around the filling. If you still see some filling peeking out, do not worry! It will all work out just fine. At the time, you can also sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top before baking. Next, bake for 13-16 minutes or until the tops are a golden color.
Don’t those look delicious? Be sure to let your Cheesy Sloppy Joe Bombs cool for 3-5 minutes before attempting to eat them, as the filling inside is super hot!

Can I substitute the crescent rolls with biscuit dough?
Yes, you could certainly substitute the crescent rolls with biscuit dough, but depending on the brand you use, you might have to vary the baking time. Actually, I think any premade dough would work well, as long as you keep a close eye on your Cheesy Sloppy Joe Bombs while they are baking and take them out when the biscuit dough looks golden on top.
Do I need to refrigerate the Cheesy Sloppy Joe Bombs leftovers?
Yes, if you have leftover Cheesy Sloppy Dough Bombs, you absolutely need to refrigerate the leftovers. Anything with cheese or meat in the recipe, you need to refrigerate, of course!!
