Happy Monday! How was your Easter weekend? We had family in town and the kids dyed eggs, ate their weight in candy, played in the mud, and just had the best weekend together! Yesterday I am pretty sure that 90% of Parks' diet was sugar and I wasn't far behind him! So now that Easter is over and my excuse to eat candy is no longer valid, I am meal planning for the week and I am all about preparing light meals that the whole family will love while keeping me on track! My sloppy joe stuffed peppers are just the kind of meal that is super satisfying while being low carb and healthy at the same time!
I originally created this recipe for eHow and have loved it so much that I knew I needed to share it with you guys on here also! There is nothing like a good sloppy joe...you know the real thing that is sandwiched between a perfect bun and is messy and delicious...but I have to say that these stuffed peppers really give you the same craving fix without the heaviness of a bun!
If your family was anything like mine, I am willing to be you grew up eating a can or two of Manwich from time to time. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I didn't know just how good a sloppy joe could truly be until I made my own sloppy joes from scratch! Talk about delicious, holy moly, these are good guys!
I love that I can control the ingredients, including the sugar content, and I don't have to feel bad about satisfying one of my childhood cravings! This recipe is super kid-friendly too and you could even sneak a few veggies into the sauce if you wanted and I can guarantee no one would know!
Add this easy and tasty recipe for sloppy joe stuffed peppers to your weeknight menu this week and see for yourself just how delicious they really are!
This recipe is such a great weeknight dinner and I know that your whole family will approve!
