🥘 Sloppy Joe Pasta Casserole
🧾 Ingredients
2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1 can (about 400g) sloppy joe sauce
1 lb (450g) ground beef
1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work great)
2 cups water or beef broth
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
In a large casserole dish, add:
Uncooked penne pasta
Cooked ground beef
Sloppy joe sauce
Water or broth
Stir everything together so the pasta is well coated.
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
Remove foil, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
Return to oven (uncovered) for 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
😋 Tips
Add chopped onions or bell peppers for extra flavor.
Spice it up with chili flakes or hot sauce.
Swap ground beef for ground chicken or turkey if you prefer.
