Recipe Notes:

I have not specified the type of cheese to use in this casserole. Cheddar or mozzarella cheese works well.

Make this crockpot sloppy joe casserole ahead of time by storing it in a saucepan, covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let the casserole come to room temperature before reheating it in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Manwich Brand Sloppy Joe Sauce is ideal for this casserole recipe.

Draining the browned meat will help the meat soak up all the seasoning and hot flavors that are added to make the crockpot mix.
