Cornbread Sloppy Joe Casserole

I found the basis for this recipe on the back of a “Manwich Sloppy Joe” sauce.  It will work well with just about any type of left over meat or ground beef.  If your going to use ground beef you should figure on at least 8 ounces per person and 2 pounds + 1 large can of sloppy joe = 4 servings.  It is a relatively easy to make recipe and is quite filling.

Ingredients for Cornbread Sloppy Joe Casserole

Serves 2-4 persons

  1. 2 pounds ground beef
  2. 1 medium onion finely chopped
  3. 2 stalks celery finely chopped
  4. 1 large can sloppy joe sauce
  5. 1 bx Jiffy corn muffin mix
  6. 1 egg
  7. 1/3 cup milk
  8. 4-5 Tbs butter

 

Directions for Cornbread Sloppy Joe Casserole

Preheat oven to 400º

Liberally grease a 9 x9 inch baking pan with the 2-3 Tbs of butter.

In a large saute pan with 2-3 tbs of butter saute the onion and celery until soft.  When the vegetables begin to soften add the ground beef and brown. 

Once the beef is cooked (if the pan is large enough, mix in pan or transfer beef to a large bowl) add the sloppy joe sauce and mix completely.  Pour into the greased baking pan.

In a large bowl combine the muffin mix egg and milk and stir until combined and fairly smooth.  The mix will be slightly lumpy but that’s OK.

Spoon the cornbread over the top of the ground beef covering it completely.

Bake for 25 minutes until the cornbread has risen and is slightly browned on top.

Stuffed Acorn Squash

Acorn squash is an absolutely great vegetable ! My introduction to it was circular slices baked in a brown sugar butter sauce, delicious but a slightly high caloric count dish.  Stuffed Acorn Squash is a dish with a very nice presentation that makes a satisfying main course.

This is another of those not written in stone recipes, make it with what ever type of meat you’d like, or make it strictly veggie like a ratatouille in a shell, choices are endless, just awaiting your creative ideas to make this recipe your own.

It’s not a quick throw together meal, but it’s certainly worth the effort.

Ingredients for Stuffed Acorn Squash

The ingredients here are for one squash serving two people.

  1. 1 Acorn Squash cut in half, seeded, and baked, and cooked squash scooped out
  2. 2 Tbs butter melted
  3. 1/2 pound ground beef
  4. 1 shallot minced
  5. 1 clove garlic minced
  6. salt & pepper
  7. 1/2 tsp cumin
  8. 1/2 tsp coriander
  9. 1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  10. 1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs approximate
  11. Olive oil

Directions for Stuffed Acorn Squash

Preheat oven to 450º

Cut the squash in half lengthwise.  If the squash does not sit flat slice off a small section of the bottom to give it a flat surface, being careful not to slice too deeply into the flesh.  Scoop out the seeds and brush the inside with the melted butter and lightly salt and pepper.  Place into a baking dish and bake cut side up for about 30 minutes.

Once cooked, remove the squash and allow to cool.  Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the insides carefully trying not to pierce the skin.  Place the squash into a bowl.

While the squash is cooking ,cook the ground beef.  When the ground beef is cooked drain to remove excess grease.

Add the ground beef, shallot, garlic,coriander, cumin and mozzarella to the squash stir to combine thoroughly.  Taste at this point and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. 

Turn heat in oven to 350º

Fill both squash halves with the mixture, dividing equally to both halves.  Sprinkle the Panko Crumbs and a little Olive oil over the top of both.  Place into a baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes until hot and the crumbs are browned.

Carefully remove from baking dish when done and serve.  Garnish with a dollop of sour cream if you like.

Pyrex Bakeware 4.8 Quart Oblong Baking Dish, Clear
OXO Good Grips Brushed Stainless Steel Spoon

Tastings have been so sparse of late I was beginning to think I was out of a job.  So I am now also the Official V.C.W.P. (Very Cute Watch Puppy), although some in the neighborhood call me the “snoop dog”, and others “the barker”.  The squash thing, sans the shell, was quite beefy with a hint of cheese, so it’s a 5 paw effort and now back to guard duty.
