Ingredients

Sloppy Joe Casserole Filling

1 recipe Homemade Sloppy Joes (or your favorite recipe)
1 cup cheddar cheese (1/2 mixed into filling later and 1/2 for topping)

Low Carb Cornbread Base

1 cup part skim mozzarella shredded cheese
2 cups almond flour (fluff up with whisk before measuring)
2 oz cream cheese, softened
3 large eggs
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp Amoretti Sweet Corn Extract

Instructions

Sloppy Joe Filling:

Make the sloppy Joe filing per directions. Let cool slightly, then stir in half of the cheddar cheese.

Cornbread Base:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally butter or oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
Place the cheeses, eggs, almond flour, baking powder and extract (if using) in a food processor. Process until a thick batter forms.

Method:

Spoon the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet and gently spread evenly to the sides of the pan.
Top the batter with the sloppy Joe filling and bake for 35-40 minutes. Top with the rest of the cheddar cheese and return to the oven until melted.
Let the Sloppy Joe Casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with a crisp salad. Serves 8 at 7 net carbs each.

Notes

Refrigerate any leftovers and rewarm in the microwave or wrap in foil and rewarm in a 350 F oven.
