    Cheesy, flavorful, and healthy Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers! These stuffed peppers are filled with ground chicken, traditional Sloppy Joe MANWICH sauce, pumpkin puree, carrots, celery, and Gouda cheese, then topped with cheddar cheese.

    A lot of what I've been cooking recently has been savory, Fall themed, while staying as healthy as possible. Most days I also need my recipes to be fast and easy to make, since by the time my daughter gets off the bus I have under two hours to do dishes and make dinner while dealing with household things (dogs) at the same time. That's why I like to make my dinners fast and easy with ConAgra products like MANWICH, along with seasonal produce I can easily pick up at Walmart.

    The printable recipe is below, but I'd love to show you step-by-step how I made these awesome Cheesy Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers.

    First, gather up the ingredients:

    Sloppy Joe Stuffed Peppers Ingredients

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, cut bell peppers in half length-wise, remove seeds and membranes, then place them in a baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

    Cut bell peppers in baking dish.

    Bake the peppers for 15-20 minutes, or until they are just starting to soften. Meanwhile, prepare the Sloppy Joe filling.

    Brown the ground chicken, along with finely diced carrots and celery in two tablespoons canola oil,

    Browning ground chicken, carrots, and celery.

    Then add one can of MANWICH, one cup of pumpkin puree, 2 cups of shredded Gouda cheese, and ⅔ of a cup of water. Mix the water in the emptied can of MANWICH so you get every bit of sauce out. Stir the chicken/MANWICH mixture up, and simmer for a minute or two.

    MANWICH and pumpkin puree added to ground chicken.

    Once the peppers are done pre-baking, fill them with the mixture just to the top of each pepper.

    Sloppy Joe filled bell peppers.

    Put the dish back in the oven, and bake for 20-25 more minutes. Remove from the oven and top with cheddar cheese,
