My family went crazy for this casserole version of sloppy joes! You can’t go wrong with meatballs and tater tots! But, I have to say that the sauce is the “cherry on top” that melds everything together and takes the flavor up 20 notches! Then, gather everyone around the table to enjoy this phenomenal meal! Stir in the corn, Manwich, and cream cheese. Bake to bubbly, scrumptious perfection, then add shredded cheddar and allow that to melt in the oven for a few minutes. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the peppers and onions until the meat is cooked through. Pour the sauce over the top of the meatballs, then layer the tater tots over that. While that’s baking, you concoct a tasty homemade sloppy joe sauce over the stove top. It all starts with a meatball base that you bake in the oven by itself for a bit, to heat the frozen meatballs through. If you enjoy sloppy joe sauce, you’re going to be head over heels for this Sloppy Joe Casserole! Lots of carbs, cheese and sauce are a must as well! Today’s recipe checks all of those boxes. When it’s chilly outside, all I want to eat is something hot out of the oven. I have so many favorites that I rotate through, including this Hamburger Corn Casserole, this Cheesy Broccoli Casserole and this Chicken Salad Casserole. Pour the sloppy joe mixture into a 9x13 baking dish. Cook over low heat until the cream cheese is melted.

If there’s one food that’s top on my list when I think of comfort food, it’s casseroles. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the peppers and onions until the meat is cooked through. And I’m not sad about it! Comfort food is definitely my favorite kind of food! It gives me all the warm fuzzies and leaves me feeling so satisfied. Drain any grease and add the bell pepper, tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar.

Fry the meat, onion, and garlic in a large skillet until the steak is no longer pink. You’ll find me in my cozy socks and sweaters, eating soups and breads, casseroles and pasta for the coming months ahead. Add cooking spray to a 13×9-inch baking dish and preheat the oven. I love that it’s fall and we’re in comfort food season. The family’s going to go wild for this Sloppy Joe Meatball Tater Tot Casserole! It’s comforting food that will warm you right through! It’s so delicious and deserves to show up on the menu time and time again!
