|Sloppy Joe Pasta Casserole|

Love pasta? Love sloppy joe’s? Love easy dinners? Then you are going to LOVE this dinner. It’s a family favorite for us and my go to meal when doing a meal train. It is our absolute favorite with my Homemade French Bread. Click here for recipe.

Tip on cooking your corn: once your pasta is almost cooked, about 5 minutes before it’s finished cooking, pour frozen corn in. Let it cook until it reaches a boil again and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. Then strain your pasta and corn as usual! So easy and since it all will be tossed together in the end this is an easy way to save on dishes and time.
