Cheesy Sloppy Joe Bake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 16 ounces of rotini, already cooked
02 - 1 lb of ground beef
03 - 30 oz of sloppy joe sauce (two 15-ounce cans)

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 green bell pepper, chopped up
05 - 1 small onion, chopped into small bits

→ Cheese

06 - 2 cups shredded cheddar, split into two portions

# Instructions:

01 - Put the beef, diced onion, and pepper in a big pan. Cook it all together until the meat isn’t pink anymore and the veggies soften up. Drain the grease when done.
02 - Mix in the sloppy joe sauce. Stir everything around and let it warm up for a few minutes until it’s bubbling slightly.
03 - Toss in the cooked pasta and mix it all up so the sauce covers everything.
04 - Now, mix in about 1 to 1½ cups of cheddar cheese and keep stirring until it’s melted into the dish.
05 - Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Heat it on low until the cheese melts. If you want to speed it up, you could cover the pan. Add some parsley on top if you like!

# Notes:

01 - Any kind of pasta works—use your favorite!
02 - Adding veggies is totally optional but worth it
03 - This dish can be frozen to save for another day
