Sloppy Joe Spaghetti Bake
Sloppy joe spaghetti bake: homemade sloppy joe sauce over spaghetti, covered with cheddar and baked. A kid-friendly ground beef casserole in 45 minutes.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 1/2 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (*Adjust seasonings to taste, as desired)
- 1/2 lb spaghetti, cooked and drained
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Brown ground beef with onions in a large skillet. Drain. Stir in tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar and seasonings. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until flavors are combined. Remove from heat.
- Place cooked spaghetti noodles in a casserole dish and top with sloppy joe mixture. Cover with cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. (Or, refrigerate until dinner time and then bake for about 20 minutes, until heated through.)
Notes
Please note, the sloppy joe mixture turns out much “sloppier” than I would make for serving on a bun. This was done on purpose so that the finished dish wasn’t too dry.
