1-First, heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and brown the 1 lb ground beef with the 1 chopped onion. Season it with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp paprika until it’s fully cooked, then drain any excess grease. This step builds the hearty base that makes the dish so satisfying.

2-Next, add 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 8 oz can tomato sauce, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tbsp mustard, and 2 tbsp BBQ sauce to the skillet. Stir everything well and let it simmer on low for a few minutes to blend the flavors. This creates the classic Sloppy Joe taste that ties the whole casserole together.

3-After that, top the mixture with 1 1/2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese for a gooey layer. Then, add the frozen potato products from the 30 oz bag on top, spreading them evenly. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes or until the potato products are golden brown and crispy. Finally, sprinkle with dried parsley for a fresh finish before serving.
