SLOPPY JOE STUFFED PEPPERS! LEFTOVER MAKEOVER!!

Today I am sharing a super fast, leftover makeover that may help you the next time you have some sloppy joes left after dinner. I have been toying with this idea for a while! Sloppy Joe stuffed peppers are a great way to makeover those leftovers and give them new life. We love stuffed peppers and Rick's very favorite meal is sloppy Joes, but we don't have them that often, so what could be better than blending the two? Top those off with some shredded cheddar and you have a quick and easy meal made with what you already had in a flash! If you love a stuffed pepper, you are going to love these budget friendly beauties!

It was recently Rick's birthday and he always chooses sloppy Joes for his home cooked birthday meal. Do you do that in your house? The birthday person gets to choose a home cooked meal as well as a restaurant for another evening for a celebration night out! When I make these, I always make a lot so there will always be leftovers for Rick for the coming week. The sloppy Joe meat also freezes well so no worries if you cannot get to it quick.

On the day I made this video we were planning on having this for a lunch. It was actually lunch for three days. Once for two of us and twice for Rick for two more days. One stuffed pepper per serving is enough to satisfy anyone. Pair that with a tossed salad or some fruit on the side and you are good to go.

If you would like to make the sloppy Joes low carb and keto friendly, you can sub out the brown sugar for brown sugar substitute such as Swerve as well as a sugar free ketchup like our favorite G. Hughes brand. They both make this a really easy way to make this comply with any eating plan. Don't like ground beef? Use ground chicken, turkey or pork. You make them your own.

I cut two large green bell peppers in half and seeded them and removed the ribs with a spoon. If you don't like green peppers, then use red, yellow orange or whatever you like! Even consider stuffing this into some Anaheim or Poblano peppers for a little flair! I sliced right through the stem and did not remove it from the top to maintain the structural integrity of the pepper shell. Then I stuffed each shell with about 1/2 cup of the sloppy Joe mixture then topped them all off with a total of 1 cup of shredded cheese. I added about 1/4 cup of water to the baking dish then popped these in the oven for a total of 50 minutes or until they were browned a bit and bubbly and soft.

Note, that I do not like my cheesy top crispy, if you do, leave it that way when these come out of the oven. I like mine a bit more gooey so I added about 1/2 cup extra cheese on top and let that melt over. You should do what you enjoy most in this particular case. When you take these from the oven, let them cool for about five minutes or longer before serving so they are not molten and cannot injure someone who is ready to eat.

These were so good! They will definitely be going down on the menu plan in the future. What is not to like? A stuffed pepper using some leftovers that would normally be stuffed into a bun but these are going to really make you happy!

What are some things you like to stuff into a pepper shell? Leave me a comment down below and let me know. I have some other ideas for stuffed peppers that I will be sharing in the future. In the mean time, I hope you give these sloppy Joe stuffed peppers a try sometime soon and I hope you love them!

Happy Eating!
