This is a horribly uncreative name for a really good recipe. Sloppy Joe Bake better describes it, but isn't a great name either, maybe you can come up with a better name if you try it.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground sirloin (we don't eat beef, so I used ground pork and I only used 1 lb.)
1 small onion, diced (Thank goodness, they told number of veggies rather than cups!)
1/2 green pepper, diced
1 can diced tomatoes
2 bay leaves
1 1/3 cups water
3 large Idaho potatoes, cut in round slices
1 pkg shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp cornstarch
Directions:
Brown beef, onions, peppers. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drain and add 1 cup water, bay leaves, tomatoes; simmer for 15 minutes. Remove bay leaves and add 1/3 cup water with cornstarch for thickening. In another skillet, brown potatoes in a small amount of oil until tender, and then drain. Place potatoes in casserole dish and pour beef mixture over. Add cheese to top and brown in oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool then cut in squares for servings.
Servings: 6-8
Notes from the Cook: This goes well with any green salad and hot bread. A real meal in one.

This is my second time making this, I didn't think to take a picture the first time, so, shucks, I had to make it again (hope you can hear my sarcasm). We REALLY liked this. I think anyone who enjoys sloppy Joe's will like this recipe and it is a lot less sloppy!
Some personal suggestions, make sure you cook the potatoes in the fry pan until they are done, the time in the oven will not be enough to make them tender. I also left it in the oven longer this second time to make sure it was plenty hot, I would increase the recipe's bake time to 15-20 minutes.
Hope you enjoy!
