Manwich Sloppy Joe Corn Chip Pie Casserole

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

For those of you that have been following my blog for a while you know I am a big fan of casseroles and easy meals for my busy family. Nothing is better than throwing together ingredients in a slow cooker or baking dish and having dinner DONE. Manwich is a family favorite that my kids {and yours too I’m sure} love. I have made many Manwich meals and shared them on the blog and today I wanted to share my best one yet Sloppy Joe Corn Chip Pie Casserole! I took a Southern favorite: Corn Chip Pie and instead of serving it in the chip bag or a bowl, I layered it in a baking dish and made it into a casserole. Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce made it easy to prepare since the sauce and seasonings are mixed and ready to go. Just add meat, cheese, and corn chips {and I like to top with onions} and you’re ready to bake!

Manwich Monday is a great way for you to start your week, with a tasty, easy-to-make family meal around the dinner table! Manwich is a hearty sauce with a sweet and tangy taste and it also has the kid-stopping power, as your children will need both hands to enjoy this messy-licious treat, keeping them away from video games or texting! Manwich is a great, easy, quality ingredient that you can use to bring your family’s attention back to mealtime and away from the everyday distractions. Plus, there is no meat in Manwich. It is a tangy sauce perfect for sandwiches, pastas and more!

Ingredients:

Makes one 9X13 pan

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (I used 90/10)
2 cans Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce (any flavor), about 3 cups
2 cups corn chips, crushed plus more chips for dipping
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 small onion, diced (red, yellow, or white)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add ground beef to a large non stick skillet and heat over medium.
Stir, crumble, and cook until browned.
Drain, turn heat down to medium low, then add both cans of Manwich.
Stir, bringing to a simmer, then remove from heat.
Add corn chips to a food processor and pulse until crushed.
In a 9X13 pan (or two 8X8 pans like I did), add half of the sloppy joe mixture, spreading to cover the bottom of the pan.
Then top with the crushed corn chips, sprinkling all over.
Finally add 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Bake for 20 minutes until warm and bubbly.
Remove and add remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Heat for 2-3 more minutes, until cheese is just melted.
Remove from oven and add diced onions on top if you’d like.
Serve warm with additional corn chips for dipping or just grab a fork and dig in!
