Sloppy Joe Cornbread Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 8 1/2-ounce box corn muffin mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar divided
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 14 3/4-ounce can cream-style corn
- 24 ounce can sloppy joe sauce or homemade, divided
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 bell pepper any color
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. While the oven is heating up, place your 10" cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the cornbread mix, 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, milk, egg, and canned corn. Stir until well combined.
- When the oven is heated, carefully take out the skillet, pour in the cornbread mixture, and bake for 15 minutes.
- Dice the onion and pepper and add to a large skillet with the butter. Cook until softened.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook through. Drain the fat. (I usually use 90/10 percent fat ground beef and there usually isn't any fat to drain off).
- Add all but 1/2 cup of the sloppy joe sauce to the pan with the meat to warm.
- Remove the cornbread from the oven and use a fork to prick holes over the cornbread. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of the sloppy joe sauce over the cornbread.
- Spoon the meat and sauce over the baked cornbread and top with the remaining cheese. Return to the oven for 15 minutes.
