Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground chuck, breaking it up with a spoon, until almost fully cooked. (Cook time: 4 minutes)

03

Step

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened. (Cook time: 6-8 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the tomato paste, cooking until it darkens slightly. (Cook time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Then, stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens. (Cook time: 7 minutes)

06

Step

Transfer the sloppy joe mixture to the prepared baking dish.

07

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn muffin mix, milk, baking powder, and eggs until well combined. Spoon the cornbread batter evenly over the sloppy joe filling.

08

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Bake time: 20-25 minutes)

09

Step

Let cool slightly before serving.

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.

    I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it was still amazing. Great recipe!

  • Tierra Pfannerstill

    The 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.
