Sloppy Joe Cornbread Casserole
Description
This casserole starts with ground beef browned with diced red bell pepper and onion, mixed with garlic, tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper to create the sloppy joe base. It is spread in a baking dish and topped with a cornbread mixture incorporating cheese, egg, milk, and oil. Baking until golden forms a crust that contrasts with the savory, rich meat filling.
The dish serves well as a main course for casual dinners and can be reheated. Leftovers keep for several days, maintaining both texture and flavor.
Doubling the recipe and using a larger baking dish is possible; adjust baking time and test with a toothpick for doneness. Letting the casserole rest before serving helps it set for easier slicing.

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 tomato sauce 8 oz can, canned

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray an 8X8 baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray.

- Spread the mixture into the bottom of the 8X8 baking pan.
- Whisk together the cornbread mix, egg, milk and vegetable oil in a medium size mixing bowl. Stir in half of the shredded cheese.
- Spoon the cornbread mixture on top of the sloppy Joe mixture in the pan and carefully spread it evenly over the top. Then top with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for 25-20 minutes until the cornbread is golden brown.
- Let the casserole set for 5-10 minutes. Then the casserole is ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- You can double the recipe using a 9x13 baking pan; increase cooking time accordingly.
- Check doneness of cornbread topping with a toothpick before removing from oven.
