Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Transfer the Sloppy Joe mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

In a large bowl, toss the grated potatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Evenly distribute the grated potatoes over the sloppy joe mixture in the baking dish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on top.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes. Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.

Step 9

Let the bake cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
