Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Brown the ground beef and ground pork sausage, and drain off the fat.

Step 4

Add the onion, and green bell pepper, into the hot skillet and cook 3-5 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce; reduce heat and simmer until heated through, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 6

In a large bowl, mix together cooked penne, half of the cheese, and all of the ground meat and Manwich mixture. Stir together.

Step 7

Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining half of the cheese.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley
