I created this Casserole one night when my family decided to have sloppy joe's for dinner. Since I am not a fan of Sloppy Joe's my parents suggested Ham, onions and cheese over cornbread. But, I thought I would taste better with the ham and onions in the corn bread. so my parent said I could try it. when I tried it i found it to be better than I thought it would be. next time I may even try replacing some of the milk used with cream style corn.
