Baked Tacos are now my favorite version of this family favorite. Here the meat gets flavored sloppy joe style. You can use purchased sloppy joe sauce as the base or your favorite recipe.

Sloppy Joe Oven Baked Tacos

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef
1 can (15 oz) Manwich Sloppy Joe Sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
12 taco shells
1 cup shredded shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (I used both)
2 cups shredded lettuce
Additional toppings such as sour cream, chopped cilantro and hot sauce

Directions:

1. Cook beef in large skillet over medium-high heat 7 minutes or until crumbled and no longer pink, stirring occasionally; drain.

2. Stir in sloppy joe sauce and cumin; simmer 5 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 350℉.

4. Line up taco shells in a 9 x 13 inch pan and evenly divide sloppy joe mixture among the shells. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, and place in oven for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and shells are warm.

5. Divide lettuce evenly between taco shells. Top with additional toppings, if you like.

Recipe from Kitchen Meets Girl

“Invasion” is new from Nottingham based singer-songwriter Jack Peachey aka Gallery 47. I love his soft voice over that somewhat frenetic guitar.

Check out Gallery 47 on the Website, where you can link to buy his music.

Cheers!
