Equipment
Ingredients
- .5 lb ground beef
- 1 white onion diced
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 can cream corn
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- shredded cheddar cheese optional, as topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
Preparing the Cornbread Bowls
- Add flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl and mix well. Pour in the cream corn and canola oil. Whisk to combine.
- Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray, or line with liners. Pour batter into the muffin tin/liners and fill ¾ of the way. Bake for 12 minutes.
Making the Sloppy Joe Mixture
- While the cornbread muffins are baking, cook the sloppy joe mixture. Brown ground beef with onion then drain fat. Add ketchup, Worcestershire, Dijon, brown sugar, garlic powder, pepper, and dry mustard to a large bowl. Whisk well, then add the ground beef. Stir to evenly distribute.
- Remove the cornbread from the oven. Take out the center of the muffins to create a bowl for the sloppy joe to sit.
- Add a scoop of sloppy joe mixture to the center of the cornbread muffins. Top with cheddar cheese and place back in the oven for 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- When removing the center of the cornbread, try to leave about 1cm along the sides and the bottom of the muffin. Scoop with a spoon, or use a knife.
- Save the center of the cornbread and reuse to make cornbread pudding or casserole.
- Garnish with fresh chives, ground black pepper, or green onions!
- You can substitute cornbread mix instead of making it from scratch. They can also be made with leftover sloppy joes.
- Feel free to add whatever you like into your sloppy joe mixture. We kept it simple here, but green pepper and jalapeno make delicious additions!
