For the Cornbread Topping:

- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prepare Sloppy Joe Filling: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until vegetables are softened.
- Create Sloppy Joe Sauce: Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
- Make Cornbread Topping: In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, and eggs. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Assemble the Casserole: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the sloppy joe filling into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling. Spoon the cornbread batter evenly on top.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice into squares and savor the delicious combination of sloppy joe goodness and cornbread comfort.
