Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook until they are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
While the potatoes are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, and a pinch of salt, then mash until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the sloppy joe mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Spoon the mashed potatoes over the sloppy joe mixture, spreading them out to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the mashed potatoes.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
