What better way to use up some leftover Sloppy Joes mix than in this delicious Sloppy Joe Pasta Bake
My family love a good pasta bake. They are such an easy uncomplicated meal that you can all dig into and enjoy.
Any kind of leftovers can be combined with some pasta and topped with some cheese to be baked in the oven for a delicious pasta bake. It's a great way to use up leftovers of meat when there isn't enough to serve the whole family. Bulking it out with some pasta and maybe even some more vegetables and some sauce if it is needed, turns some leftovers, into a filling and hearty family meal.
My kids love Sloppy Joes, something I hadn't even heard of until I worked in the US back in 2000. It is now a regular dish in my house. So simple to make, yet really tasty.
I love to cook up a big batch, as the leftovers can be used up in various ways. Serve in whole wheat buns, top on a baked jacket potato or sweet potato. You can even serve with the Perfect Syn Free Fries. But my favourite dish using Sloppy Joes leftovers is making this Sloppy Joe Pasta Bake.
I just stir some into some cooked pasta (I like penne, but any pasta will work), top with a little bit of passata, just to give it a bit more sauce. Season with salt and pepper and then I top with cheddar and mozzarella. Baked in a hot oven until the cheese is all melted and golden. Delish!!
I don't serve many sides to go with this, as it's pretty filling. A simple salad of some baby mixed greens is plenty or if you don' t fancy salad serve alongside some other vegetables of your choosing.
Use a gluten free pasta of choice and this dish can be gluten-free. Just ensure the ingredients you use to make the sloppy joe mix are all gluten free too.
So next time you make up some of my Syn Free Sloppy Joes, make this delicious Sloppy Joe Pasta Bake with the leftovers.

This was delicious, thank you so much! Everyone loved it and my husband was being so funny about making sure I saved the leftovers for tomorrow.
Who has 3 1/2 cups of leftover sloppy joes??? But this looks great and will try it.
Hi Susan, if you click on the link where it says Sloppy Joe’s, it takes you to the recipe. The idea is you use up the leftover Sloppy Joe’s from making that recipe.
Made this from the leftover Sloppy Joe's, both dishes are delicious and proper comfort food! Love it!
I made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious , the only change i made to the sloppy joe recipe was i used some brown sugar instead of sweetener , but that only because i don't like the taste of artificial sweetener , i would definitely make it again
So glad you enjoyed it Liz. I actually only use natural based sweeteners, sukrin is not artificial and doesn't have that nasty aftertaste. But adding sugar and synning is perfectly fine too.
Hi,
I’m loving your page, so many great ideas which are really helping the whole family with meal planning ideas.
We want to make this Sloppy Joe pasta bake, however based in the UK not entirely sure what the mix is and when I click on the link can’t seem to work out how to find the recipe for this.
If you could help out that would be amazing, thank you
Lauren
Hi Lauren, sorry for the confusion re: the recipe, you don't buy the mix you make it yourself as per the recipe on the link. The recipe is in the recipe box to the end of each recipe post the same as on this recipe. Hope that helps. Enjoy!!
Hi I would love to make this recipe but as I am in the UK I have no idea how much 3.5 cups of sloppy joe mix is. Please could you tell me what it would be? Many thanks xxx
If you have a measuring jug you can use that. 1 cup equals 240mls so long as it’s around 3x that it will be fine. Always worth investing in some measuring cups. They are Super cheap and you can find at pound shops, home stores and Amazon
