To make these sloppy joes, I started by dumping some lean ground beef into a large non stick skillet over medium-high heat.

I added some diced onions to the skillet with the ground beef.

I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.

Then I added some frozen corn kernels to the pan.

I stirred well.

I added some water, brown gravy mix, salt and pepper to the pan.

I stirred well again.

I brought the liquid to a boil and then reduced the heat to low.

I left the ground beef mixture to simmer and thicken while I prepared some instant mashed potatoes.

Once the ground beef and gravy mixture had thickened to the point where there was almost no liquid in the pan, I removed the skillet from the heat.

I added some shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the skillet.

I stirred just until the cheese was melted.

I placed some brioche buns on a baking sheet.

I toasted the buns in a preheated oven for four minutes.

Then I scooped some of the prepared mashed potatoes on to the bottom buns.

I spooned the ground beef mixture on top of the potatoes.

Then I placed the top buns on the sandwiches.

Then the shepherd’s pie sloppy joes were ready to serve.

These ground beef and mashed potato sloppy joes with gravy are the perfect comfort food.
