1 medium onion chopped (1/2 cup)
1 can tomato sauce
1 TBS packed brown sugar
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 pouch (6.5 oz) Betty crocker golden corn muffin and bread mix (I couldn’t find this, so just used a box of jiffy corn muffin mix)
1/3 cup milk
2 TBS vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4oz)

1. heat oven to 350 in skillet cook hamburger and onion over medium-high heat 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown. Drain. Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Cook 2-3 minutes stirring frequently until boiling. Keep warm

2. or skip #1 and just make manwich then follow directions below! :-)

3. in a small bowl, stir corn bread mix, milk, oil and egg just until moistened (batter will be lumpy)

4. spoon hot beef mixture into 8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish. Sprinkle with ¾ cup of the cheese. Spoon corn bread batter evenly over top

5. bake 25-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup cheese over hot casserole.

I didn’t realize until it was too late about the cheese on the top, and sprinkled all of it over the hamburger instead of the top- still turned out good!
