Sloppy Joe Casserole: A Comfort Food Classic Made Easy

If you love the messy, flavorful goodness of a traditional Sloppy Joe sandwich but want a simpler, one-dish meal, the Sloppy Joe Casserole is the ultimate comfort food solution. This hearty dish layers seasoned ground beef in a tangy tomato sauce with tender pasta or bread, then bakes it to bubbly perfection. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, family dinners, or even meal prepping for the week. Here’s how to make it step by step.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For this recipe, you’ll need:

For the Meat Layer:

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped (optional for extra flavor)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)

For the Base:

• 3 cups cooked elbow macaroni or small pasta of your choice
  (Alternatively, you can use cubed bread or biscuit dough for a more sandwich-like version)

For the Topping:

• 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray so your casserole doesn’t stick.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

If using pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside. (If using bread cubes, skip this step.)
