Lentil Sloppy Joe Cornbread Casserole

This Lentil Sloppy Joe Cornbread Casserole is a hearty, family-friendly comfort food casserole that combines vegetarian sloppy joes with Southern cornbread!

Our family loves its meat and potatoes. If I tell them that we will have a meatless dinner tomorrow night, I will hear them moan and groan and whine all day and then they will refuse to even taste dinner.

So what do I do? I don’t tell them it’s vegetarian! I just told them I’m making a sloppy joe casserole with a cornbread topping! Then they look forward to it. They will taste it and love it and ask for seconds because who doesn’t love sloppy joes or cornbread!
