Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Cook the pasta as directed in a saucepan, to al dente. The pasta will soak up some of the liquid from the chili when it bakes, so don't overboil the pasta!
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet and drain if needed. Pour in the sloppy Joe sauce and bring to bubbling.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, combine the cooked pasta and the sloppy joe meat. Top with the shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
Serve Sloppy Joe Pasta Bake with favorite side salad or veggies.
