Notes & Tips
For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes to the beef mixture while it simmers. This introduces heat without overpowering the classic Sloppy Joe flavor.
You can also substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a gooier, meltier topping. Mozzarella creates long, stretchy cheese pulls and a milder flavor that pairs well with the savory filling.
These stuffed shells can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake, making them ideal for meal prep or entertaining. Leftovers reheat well and make for an easy, satisfying meal the next day.
