Sloppy Joe Stuffed Shells

Been very busy getting ready for the holidays, but it was time to try and share a new recipe! Combining two of kid's favorite meals into one: Sloppy Joe Stuffed Shells. Before you click away be aware that this isn't your normal manwich...the meat mixture can be adjusted to your liking.

Ingredients

1 pound of ground beef (or turkey...for those going healthy)
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 tbsp oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 28 oz can of tomato sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt
Pepper
Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1 box of Jumbo Shell Pasta






Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Bowl water in a large pot, add a pinch of salt, and cook for 8 minutes. Drain hot water, and rinse the shells with cold water.
  3. In a large pan, add oil and heat to medium. Add onions and green peppers and saute for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for a minute. Next, add meat and cook until meat is brown.
  4. Drain fat from the pan, add sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  5. Stuff each shell with the meat mixture, and place in a glass baking pan. Pour remaining sauce over shells. 
  6. Cover with Mozzarella cheese and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.


Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
