How to Make Sloppy Joe Cornbread Casserole

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef with 1/2 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Prepare your favorite sloppy joe sauce according to package directions (usually 1 packet mixed with water).
  3. Stir the sloppy joe sauce into the browned beef mixture. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, prepare the cornbread batter according to package directions. Use one 8.5-ounce box of Jiffy corn muffin mix. Add 1 egg, 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup canned corn (drained).
  5. Pour the cornbread batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread the sloppy joe meat mixture evenly over the cornbread batter.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
