Just like you I'm always on the search for quick, easy dinner meals. And as a matter of fact this cornbread sloppy joe skillet is easy to prepare and on the dinner table in under 40 minutes. #boom You will want to serve this meal tonight.
First it was my family's love for sloppy joes and cornbread that inspired this mouthwatering recipe. What's not to love about perfectly flavored ground beef and golden, moist cornbread? They are an ideal food combination on chilly nights. Everyone around the dinner table looks forward to this meal. It's no surprise every bite is as delicious as it sounds.
Not only do we love sloppy joes and cornbread, but I also like how quick and easy this meal is to prepare. In reality if I've faced a busy day, the last thing I want to do is spend an hour preparing a meal for the oven. Instead I look forward to coming home to this quick dish all day.
With that in mind here is your ingredient list:
cornbread sloppy joe skillet ingredients
- ground beef
- onion
- green bell pepper
- ketchup
- gluten free Worcestershire sauce. Lea & Perrins is a gluten and dairy free US brand; in Canada try French's.
- brown sugar
- mustard
- water
- salt and pepper
- gluten free cornbread mix. We use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 20 oz Cornbread Mix. If using this brand, prepare the entire 20 oz bag. Plan to use 1 cup of the mix for cornbread muffins. I find using the entire 20 oz bag is too much cornbread for this recipe, but 10 ounces isn't enough. Other cornbread brands work too; adjust the mix size as needed.
- also additional ingredients include eggs, unsweetened almond milk, and dairy free butter for the cornbread
- optional shredded dairy free cheese. If you've found a brand you favor, add it in to the meat mix.
- garnish with green onions
recipe tip:
It's important to note this recipe makes a large meal. Personally this meal size works well for my family of 5, and I can always count on having leftovers. However, this recipe can easily be made into a smaller meal size. Simply prepare half the sloppy joe sauce and cornbread mix. And place ingredients in a 9 x 9 inch skillet or baking dish.
