CORNBREAD SLOPPY JOE CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat large skillet on medium-high heat. Add ground beef. When meat is browned, add onions and peppers.
• In a medium-sized bowl, prepare BBQ sauce by mixing together brown sugar, vinegar, BBQ seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato sauce.
• When vegetables are tender, add BBQ sauce to skillet, reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 more minutes and let the mixture thicken up a little bit.
• During that time, stir together corn muffin mix, egg, oil, and milk. It will be a little lumpy.
• Once the beef mixture has thickened up a little bit, spoon it into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Pour the cornbread mixture evenly on top.
• Bake for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with cheese. Let cheese melt for a couple of minutes and then serve.
