In case the skull deviled eggs weren’t enough, I have another skull recipe for you this week – skull sloppy joe bombs! Similar to the popular pizza skulls, but made with sloppy joe and a little cheddar cheese instead.

Could I have make sloppy joes from scratch? Absolutely. But this recipe for skull sloppy joe bombs is more about the appearance so I decided to take the easy way out and make this semi-homemade. Because not everything needs to be homemade. Sometimes you want a quick, easy, and fun recipe.

What do you need to make Skull Sloppy Joe Bombs?

• Ground beef
• Can of sloppy joe sauce (or homemade)
• Cheddar cheese
• Can of prepared pizza dough (or homemade)
• Most importantly, a skull baking pan

Once you have all your ingredients and tools, you just need to brown the beef, add the sloppy joe sauce and cheddar cheese, cut the pizza dough into 6 squares and place over each skull cavity, fill with sloppy joe meat, seal, and bake! If you need more than six sloppy joe skull bombs you could buy a second pan but they come together so quickly you could probably get away with reusing the same pan.

Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 15 oz. can of sloppy joe sauce (or homemade)
• 8 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
• 13.8 oz. can of prepared pizza dough (or homemade)
• Skull baking pan

Directions

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef, stirring to break it up into small pieces, and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add sauce and cheese, stirring until combined. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 400℉. Working on a clean surface, roll out dough to a 15x10-inch rectangle. Cut dough into 6 (5x5-inch) squares.
3. Lay one square of dough over each cavity of a nonstick 6-cavity skull-shaped pan. Fill the dough by scooping about 1/3 cup of filling in the center of the dough square (you may have excess filling). Fold sides of dough together and pinch tightly to seal. 
4. Bake in preheated oven until lightly golden, 15-20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from the pan and  serving.
