Sometimes mistakes are the best. After realizing I didn't have the right ingredients for the recipe that was planned, an audible had to called and dinner had to be made on the fly. Which honestly, sometimes our best things come from having to improvise. This super simple casserole is so tasty and it's like a meal all in one. The cornbread bottom give you texture and a great base for the sloppy joe mixture and how can you ever go wrong with cheese?!?! Give it a try, you'll love it!
