Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

- Add the onion, and green bell pepper, into the hot skillet and cook 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce; reduce heat and simmer until heated through, about 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together cooked penne, half of the cheese, and all of the ground meat and Manwich mixture. Stir together.
- Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining half of the cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley
