For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the sloppy joe mixture. If you prefer a sweeter cornbread topping, add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar to the cornbread batter. To prevent the cornbread from browning too quickly, tent the dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. For a richer flavor, use beef stock instead of beef broth.

Apr 27, 2025The cornbread was a little dry. Next time I will add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the batter to make it more moist.
