Sloppy Joe Pasta

by Valerie Jones

I made sloppy joes for my family. I didn't want the bread, so I mixed the meat with penne pasta. It was tasty!

Sloppy Joe Pasta

(8 servings)

2 lbs Ground Beef

1 Onion, chopped

2 Garlic Cloves, chopped

3 Red Peppers (mini)

3 Orange Peppers (mini)

Salt
Pepper

Tomato Sauce (29 oz)

Tomato Paste (6 oz)

2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

Penne Pasta, Whole Wheat (26.5 oz)

Parmesan Cheese

Brown the beef with onion, garlic, peppers, salt, & pepper. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, & brown sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add to pasta.

Serve with Parmesan Cheese. If you like it spicy, add some crushed red peppers or Tabasco Sauce.
