Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 cup diced onion

1 cup diced bell pepper (any color)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 (15 oz) can of corn, drained

1 (15 oz) can of black beans, rinsed and drained

1 package (8 oz) of elbow macaroni

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup crushed potato chips (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

        Mix in Sauce Ingredients: Add ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to the skillet. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

          Combine with Other Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, corn, black beans, and the meat mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

            Layer in Casserole Dish: Pour half of the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Add the remaining mixture and top it off with the rest of the cheese.

              Add Topping: Evenly sprinkle crushed potato chips over the top layer of cheese for added crunch.

                Bake: Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sloppy Joe Casserole warm!
