Potlucks are such an important part of life in the south. There’s nothing better than getting together with friends and family and sharing food and recipes.
Today I’m so excited to take part in the 3rd Annual Martha White® Virtual Potluck. Last year I shared Mexican Chicken Cornbread Casserole and this year I’m sharing Sloppy Joe Cornbread Muffins, a fun recipe the whole family will enjoy.
The Virtual Potluck is to help celebrate the National Cornbread Cook-Off which takes place at the National Cornbread Festival in Tennessee each year. 2016 is the 20th Anniversary of the National Cornbread Festival and to celebrate this year Martha White® is hosting a Past Judge Cook-Off for Charity.
Be sure to check out all the awesome cornbread recipes from my friends below. 🙂
Sloppy Joe Cornbread Muffins are super easy to make using two pouches of Martha White® Buttermilk Cornbread & Muffin Mix. Martha White® makes a variety of mixes, but the Buttermilk one is my favorite for this recipe. It doesn’t have any sweetness to it which works well for pairing with sloppy joes since they are typically on the sweet side.
I fill the muffin cups halfway with cornbread mix, add a heaping tablespoon of a quick and easy homemade sloppy joe mixture, and then bake in the oven until the cornbread mixture is set.
Then I add more sloppy joe mixture on top, plus some shredded cheddar cheese, and pop them back the oven to melt the cheese. This way, there’s sloppy joe mixture cooked into the muffin and more on top!
Sloppy Joe Cornbread Muffins make a fantastic appetizer or a fun family meal and just may become your family’s favorite way to eat Sloppy Joes.
