Sloppy Joe Casserole is a recipe that my Mom made for my family and I a few years back. We ended up loving it and I added it to our menu rotation. It’s one of those recipes that sounds a little wonky but tastes amazing. Plus, it’s simple to make. I think she had gotten it from a Betty Crocker cookbook years ago and made it her own, but I’m not sure on that!

I’m going to share my version with you today. This is a recipe that could easily be changed to add vegetables that your family loves.
