Sloppy Joe Casserole
With this Sloppy Joe Casserole, the whole family is happy and satisfied with this hearty meal. Our family loves the combination of ground beef, corn, and diced tomatoes all smothered in Manwich sauce, and cheese. This is a complete meal that I made in a kettle and transfer to a casserole dish, top it with cheese and bake.

Notes
Make this a One Pot Meal
Rather than transferring to a baking dish, after the Velveeta cheese has been stirred in, just add the shredded cheese on top. Cover and cook on low until the cheeses are all melted.
Make Ahead Casserole
This is one of those recipes that can be made all the way up to the baking step. Just assemble the casserole and top with the cheese.
Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days before baking.
When ready to bake, take the casserole out of the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter to come to room temperature before putting in the hot oven.
Freeze the Sloppy Joe Casserole
Rather than refrigerating when assembled, this could be frozen at this point too. Just let cool and cover tightly. Freeze up to three months.
