Sloppy Joe Casserole

Sloppy Joe Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground beef, 85% lean
• ½ cup diced onions
• 1 15.5 oz can Manwich sauce
• 2 ½ cups chicken broth
• 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, not drained
• ¾ pound farfalle pasta, uncooked
• 8 oz. Velveeta cheese, cubed
• 1 cup corn, frozen or drained from a can
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with diced onions until the beef is browned and the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease.
3. Stir in the Manwich sauce, chicken broth, and undrained diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
4. Add the uncooked farfalle pasta, ensuring it’s submerged and mixed well. Cover the pot and let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally.
5. Lower the heat and mix in the corn. Add the cubed Velveeta cheese, covering the pot to allow the cheese to melt fully. Stir to combine evenly.
6. Transfer the cheesy mixture into a lightly greased 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
8. Cover the casserole dish and bake for 15 minutes.
9. Once done, it’s ready to serve! Enjoy with a side of warm cornbread if desired.
