Ltlphyl's Sloppy Joe Pie

Submitted by LtlPhyl 2

"I prepare and bake this in my cast iron skillet or you can pour the meat mixture into a 9-inch square dish or pie plate. This is an excellent way to serve Sloppy Joe's to the young 'uns; less mess and my grandchildren love it. OK, so don't the adults as well. Preparation and cook times are guesstimated as Zaar requires them."

I've never used sloppy joe mix before and wasn't sure what to expect, and was happy that everyone liked it. Loved the combination of the joes with the cornbread topping. I couldn't find a 10-oz package of cornbread mix, so I used Jiffy brand which is a a 8.5 ounce box. Also, since the Jiffy box directions said to bake at 400 degrees, that is what I did. Cornbread was done in 15 minutes. Made for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef.
