How To Make Sloppy Joe Casserole
See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements!
- Cook your ground beef until no longer pink. Then add in the seasonings, sloppy joe mix, and cooked pasta.
- Mix well and pour into the baking dish. Top with the cubes of Velveeta cheese.
- Cut the biscuits and place on top of the casserole. Bake as directed.
Best Way to Store Leftovers
Refrigerate the pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just make sure to store it in an airtight container.
Now you can freeze any leftovers if you want. Just know the pasta will soften a bit once you go to thaw and reheat it. You can freeze it for 2-3 months, then thaw in the fridge overnight. Or reheat straight from frozen.
Variations To Recipe
Here is the ultimate comfort food, but you will find you can change up this easy casserole. Here are a few simple ingredients to change up the recipe.
- You can use a lean ground beef if you want, or swap it out with ground turkey. Cook the meat mixture all the way until it is done.
- Change out the Velveeta cheese with any other shredded cheddar cheese instead. Just do a single layer on top of the grown ground beef and manwich sauce.
- Instead of pasta top with tater tots and make this into a sloppy joe tater tot casserole instead. Cook until the crispy tater tots are golden brown.
- Add in some red bell pepper, green bell pepper, or diced onion to the mixture.
- Swap the ground beef with ground chicken meat.
- Mix in some drained green beans or even corn for added flavor.
