Easy Sloppy Joe Casserole Recipe with Noodles

beef (lean

green bell pepper, diced

onion, chopped

garlic,

Tablespoons brown sugar

dry mustard

paprika

sea salt

black pepper

pasta,

Colby Jack cheese, shredded (or cheddar, Gouda)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with a light coat of butter or spray with cooking spray.

Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. 

(While the pasta is cooking) Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add ground beef, green pepper, onion &amp; garlic. Cook until ground beef is no longer pink and onions have softened. Drain off any grease before adding next ingredients.

Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard, chili powder, salt &amp; black pepper and red pepper flakes.  Simmer for 5 minutes (to thicken) over medium heat, stirring often. 

Next, add the cooked pasta to the sloppy joe mixture. Stir gently until pasta is coated with the sauce. 

Transfer half of the pasta and sauce mixture to the bottom of prepared baking dish, then top with half of the shredded cheese. Top with remaining pasta mixture, then top with remaining shredded cheese.

Bake the casserole for 25 minutes until cheese is completely melted and casserole is heated through.

You can&#39;t beat the ease of this crescent roll sloppy joe casserole for quick weeknight dinners!

4-Ingredient Crescent Roll Sloppy Joe Casserole

(8 ounce) can Pillsbury crescent roll dough

Sloppy Joe sauce

cheddar cheese cheese

Optional garnish: sliced green onion; chopped fresh herbs (such

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

Spray an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with cooking spray. You can also use a 9 x 13-inch dish — it will just yield a slightly thinner crust and beef layer. Either works well, though! Unroll crescent roll dough and press into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a crust. Set aside.

In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain any grease from the skillet. Stir in 1 cup of Sloppy Joe sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Spoon beef mixture over the crescent roll dough. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cut into squares, garnish, and serve.

This is one of those down-home comfort food meals that make you feel all warm and cozy inside. Saucy, sloppy beans and veggies are covered in a hearty cornbread crust. you&#x27;ll want to lick your plate clean.

Sloppy Joe Cornbread Casserole

garlic (minced)

carrots

green bell pepper

(15 ounces) red kidney beans (drained and rinsed)

(15 ounces) cannellini beans

(15 ounces) tomato sauce

(60 g) ketchup

(60 g) organic brown sugar

(28 ml) vegan Worcestershire sauce

yellow mustard

liquid smoke (optional)

salt (or

black pepper (or

(164 g) fresh or frozen corn kernels

(175 g) cornmeal

(94 g) white whole wheat flour

baking powder

(285 ml) unsweetened plain almond milk

(160 g) pure maple syrup

(60 ml) vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celcius, or gas mark 6)

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, carrots, and bell pepper and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until starting to soften. Add the remaining ingredients, except the corn, and stir well. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbly. Add the corn and stir to combine.

For the Casserole

Meanwhile, whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk the almond milk, maple syrup, and vegetable oil in a separate mixing bowl. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir well to combine.

For the Cornbread Crust

Pour the sloppy joe mixture into an 8- x 11- inch (20 x 28 cm) or similar casserole dish. Pour the cornbread mix over the top and gently smooth out in an even layer. Be careful not to push the cornbread mix into the sloppy joe mixture, although it&#x27;s okay if a little bit seeps through.

Bake for 25 to 28 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the cornbread comes out clean. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

To Assemble

This was so easy to make and my family loved it! I can’t wait to try your other recipes!

your re cpe landed in my mailbox just as I was wondering what to make us for lunch (and dinner and lunch again!!!) I added a jalapeño and I didn't have cannelini beans so I added TVP (and extra liquid) Awesome meal! Thank you!!!

I LOVE this recipe! It's very easy to make, delicious, and filling. The casserole dish I used is slightly larger than the 8 x 11 recommended, so the cornbread crust wasn't as thick as I would have liked, which is OK.

I may try adding a jalapeno pepper next time for a fun twist. 

So far, every recipe I've tried from The Meatless Mondays cookbook has been a hit!!

I've been making more recipes from your book and they have all been awesome! I really didn't think veggie meals would be so filling. I have one question that I hope is OK to ask here- it's for a recipe that's only in the book. I made the tortilla enchilada casserole, and had about half the enchilada sauce left over. I froze it for next time I make it, but I'm wondering if it's meant to be stirred into the sauteed vegetables? Or is it normal to have a lot left? Thank you so much for any help!

My husband gave me your cookbook for Christmas. I made this for dinner last night and it was so delicious!! We're trying to work in more veggie meals and this one will be in regular rotation. The only thing I changed was that I used all purpose flour because I didn't have white whole wheat on hand.

I was so impressed with the punch of flavor in this recipe! The worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke i think were what I really loved about it. It looked like chili, but definitely tasted more like sloppy joes. I think even better than many vegan sloppy joe recipes I have tried. Most are all lentil based, so I was surprised this didn't call for any. But, it worked just fine without it!

The kids and I loved it.  My husband who does not tolerate legumes well had a little bit and asked me to make it with meat so he could enjoy it as well!  

My son cannot eat gluten, and I substituted a gluten free flour blend from the America Test Kitchen recipe, and it worked.  It may have been a little dry because I let it sit for a bit before putting it on top of the beans, but we liked that for a crust.  

Thank you so much for sharing your vegan recipes!  I'm trying to transition the family to more plant based options, and it's so nice to have some easy family meals that aren't the same old quinoa/riced bowls with roasted garbanzo's or tofu.  Your blog seems to be filling that void!

LOVED the cornbread crust and smoky-flavored bean casserole. Yum! It is so much fun to be inspired by other cooks who enjoy plant-based recipes. I made my own version last night to rave reviews.

I don't eat sugar, so I eliminated the brown sugar, ketchup, and maple syrup — instead for sweetness, I stirred cooked butternut squash flesh into the bean mixture. To use up other vegetables I had on hand, I added fresh tomatoes instead of tomato sauce, chopped mushrooms, red sweet pepper, zucchini, kale leaves, golden beet, fennel bulb, green onion, and jalapeño to the bean mixture. Instead of Worcestershire sauce, I used Sriracha, Bragg aminos, and balsamic vinegar along with fresh oregano and cilantro. That all says to me that your bean casserole ingredients can be quite flexible and still be yummy! :-)

The cornbread topping was unbelievable.  I will definitely top other casseroles with it. Thanks so much for that inspiration.

This Sloppy Joe Pie is a kid favorite with savory homemade sauce and a mashed potato crust that gets golden in the oven. It&#39;s budget-friendly, freezer-friendly, and full of classic flavor!

Sloppy Joe Pie (Kid-Approved Dinner!)

scallion

tomato puree

worcestershire sauce

molasses

coconut aminos (or Tamari)

salt and pepper

russet potatoes

heavy cream (* see note)

cheddar (* see note)

Preheat the oven to 375º F.

Peel and chop your potatoes. Add them to a large pot of water and boil until fork-tender.

Drain and transfer potatoes to a bowl. Add heavy cream and cheese, then whip using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Optional: Season your mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, or a pinch of garlic powder for added flavor.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and scallions, then cook until softened. Add the ground meat and cook until browned. Drain the excess grease into a cup. Don&#39;t throw it down the sink drain!

Pour the sauce over the meat mixture, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Press a thick layer of mashed potatoes into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan. Leave room for the filling in the center. (The crust doesn&#39;t need to be perfect, just thick enough to hold the filling without collapsing.)

Spoon the meat mixture into the center. Smooth the top, leaving a little space at the top so it doesn’t bubble over.

Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the potato edges are slightly golden.
