Sloppy Joe Turnovers

Second recipe from Pillsbury: The Best of Classic Cookbooks is sloppy joes! (my choice)
Simple ingredients were appealing, but also cause I never had a legit sloppy joe; sad right?

DISH sloppy joe turnovers

INGREDIENTS
(we ended up doubling these ingredients, which made 8 sandwiches with some sloppy joe mixture left over)
1/2 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (6 oz) can refrigerated buttermilk flaky biscuits
we added some ground cinnamon and pepper to our mixture

also, though we didn't do it, try sprinkling cheese on top before putting it in the oven

HOW TO

1) Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2) In large skillet, brown ground beef and onions until beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain. Stir in ketchup, sour cream, salt, garlic powder (and cinnamon and pepper if desired). Simmer for 2 minutes.
3) Separate dough into 8 biscuits (if not already separated). Press each biscuit into a 4 x 4 inch square.
4) Place about 1/4 cup beef mixture on center of each square. Fold over one corner of each biscuit to form triangles; seal edges with fork.
5) Place on ungreased cooking sheet. Cut two 1/2 inch slits on top on each.
6) Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.

COMMENTS/TIPS
     The sweetness of the biscuits with the beef mixture was delicious. The biscuits were nice and soft with a slight crunch to them. I wouldn't go as far as to call this a sloppy joe mixture, but more a hamburger like mixture cause it really wasn't sloppy joe like. The turnover idea was different and you didn't even need utensils to eat it; definitely going to take this idea but make our own concoction on what goes inside. The sprinkling of cheese on top would have really made it something. Cheese makes everything better.
     They were really good. I liked the idea of using biscuit dough to make them. There was a certain flavor that kind of turned me off, but I grew used to it and devoured my plate. Next time we will put a different mixture in the middle.
