This sloppy joe casserole is pure comfort with a casserole-dish wink — the nostalgic sweetness and savory spice you remember, tucked into a bubbly, spoonable bake. Ground beef simmers with tomatoes, tender veggies and just enough chili warmth, then cozies up with pasta and a golden layer of melted cheese. It’s weeknight-friendly, crowd-pleasing and exactly the kind of meal that feels best served family-style, maybe with seconds already planned.
