Ingredients
Scale
Cornbread Batter
- 2 (17 oz) boxes Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup milk
Sloppy Joe Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (15 oz) can Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Make Cornbread Batter: In a large bowl, combine the Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, eggs, and milk. Stir the mixture until it is well blended and smooth. Set this batter aside while you prepare the filling.
- Make Sloppy Joe Filling: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the pan. Then, stir in the Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to blend flavors.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the prepared Sloppy Joe mixture evenly in the greased baking dish. Pour the cornbread batter on top, spreading it into an even layer over the meat.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Bake until the cornbread topping turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
Notes
- You can add diced onions or bell peppers to the ground beef while browning for extra flavor.
- For a spicier version, mix some hot sauce into the Sloppy Joe sauce before assembling.
- Ensure to drain the grease well to avoid a greasy casserole.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to set the layers.
