Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 box cornbread mix
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend the flavors.
Transfer the Sloppy Joe mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the meat mixture.
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the cornbread batter by combining the cornbread mix, milk, and egg according to the package instructions.
Pour the cornbread batter evenly over the cheese layer in the casserole dish, spreading it with a spatula if needed to cover completely.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Scoop and serve warm. Enjoy!
