Nutrition
No. It’s mildly spiced as written. You can increase heat by adding jalapeños, hot enchilada sauce, or extra chili powder.
Yes. Assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve.
A Mexican blend works great, but cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack are also excellent options.

I like the Baked Sloppy Joe Cups recipe and plan to try it soon. It would be good for snacks or as appetisers.
Wow- there are several recipes that I never would’ve thought to try on my own! Not sure which I’ll try first, but the Sloppy Joe Cornbread Bake, Saucy Chicken Wings, and Party Sausage Dip are on my list of must-try’s!
I’d like to taste that stroganoff recipe as I am a big stroganoff and Manwich fan, but we only get regular up here and Thick and chunky sounds nice!
That’s a great idea to add green chiles to sloppy Joes. My family would love that extra hit of flavor and spice.
Turkey stroganoff — love trying non-beef in beefy recipes! 🙂
Hello there creator of wonderful recipes!!
After looking at the Sloppy Joe page, and getting VERY hungry 🙁 I actually think I would make my own recipe. I’d make a pie with two crusts to enclose the filling so that I can eat it cold, standing up, outside, without a lot of mess.
I’m always on the lookout for something I can eat while I’m single action cowboy shooting (look up S.A.S.S. if you don’t know what that is-it’s so FUN!). I have to shoot 2 pistols, a rifle, and a shotgun at six different “stages” during a shoot and things move along pretty fast. Since it’s an all day event, having something to eat while I’m standing around waiting for my turn is the challenge. I can’t sit down very conveniently, and there’s certainly no microwave out on the gun range, so a two-crust pie enclosing the filling is what I’m after. I’d try mixing a can of Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce with mashed potatoes, an egg or two to bind, then bake in the over like a meat pie.
What do you think?
Blessings,
Robin
