This casserole has all the deliciousness of sloppy joe's, but mixed with secret spinach and stealthy carrots, topped with loads of ooey gooey mozzarella cheese, and crispy tater tots! I pinky swear you cant taste the vegetables as long as you make sure to chop them up small enough! This meal is perfect to make for those picky eaters in your life, whether that be yourself, your partner, or your kids! Hey, no judgement here!


Always check that the internal temperature of your meat meets USDA Guidelines. Ground beef needs to read an internal temperature of 160° F.

    What are the carbs and protein per serving?

    • Hi Peggy! I don't add nutrition facts to my recipes because I find that it can vary widely depending on what brands you use, and how you measure certain ingredients. There are lots apps and websites that can help you get a more accurate macro count with the information from the brands you use. Hope this helps!
