Notes

  • Be sure to brown the beef and vegetables before adding the sauce ingredients. This will help to create a flavorful and rich casserole. 
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake this casserole in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread is cooked through.
  • I recommend that you spray your baking dish well with a nonstick cooking spray so that clean-up is a breeze. 
  • You could also add a can of whole kernel corn to the meat mixture of this recipe. Just make sure that you drain it completely first. 
  • A dash of Worcestershire sauce would add a nice and rich flavor to this sloppy joe sauce.
