Ingredients
- 2 boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix 17 ounces total
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can Manwich sloppy joe sauce 15 ounces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, stir together the corn muffin mix, eggs, and milk until blended. Set aside.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Check that the ground beef reaches 160°F with a food thermometer, then drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the Manwich sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Spread the sloppy joe mixture across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread the prepared cornbread batter evenly over the meat.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until the cornbread is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread layer comes out dry, with no wet batter. Check that the casserole reaches 165°F with a food thermometer before serving.
Notes
If the top browns before the cornbread center is cooked through, tent loosely with foil. For advance prep, refrigerate the covered beef filling for up to 24 hours, warm it on the stovetop until hot, and mix the batter just before baking. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in shallow, covered containers; use within 3 to 4 days. Thaw frozen leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat to 165°F.
