Easy Cornbread Topped Sloppy Joe Casserole: Low Calorie and Fantastic!
Ingredients
Ingredients for Sloppy Joe:
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef, I used organic, grass-fed
- 1 cup onions, diced
- 1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce or 2 cups jarred tomato or marinara sauce
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Ingredients for Cornbread Topping
- 1 (8.5 oz.) box Jiffy golden corn muffin mix
- ⅓ cup reduced-fat milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9 X 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large nonstick pan, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown; drain. Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Cook 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water and mix again.
- In a small bowl, stir corn muffin mix, milk, and beaten egg just until moistened (batter will be lumpy).
- Spoon hot beef mixture into baking dish. Spoon cornbread batter over top. Use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly. Sprinkle the top evenly with shredded cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of topping comes out clean.
