Sloppy Joe Filling
Preheat oven to 425°
- Brown meat over medium heat
- Drain fat
- Add corn and Manwich
- Cover and simmer for 5 minutes
- Fill the Jack O’Lanterns with filling, cover with aluminum foil and bake at 425° for 45 minutes
I generally fill 2 Jack O’Lantern Shells for the kids and then add onion and jalapeno to the remaining filling and simmer a few more minutes.
If desired, remove shells from oven after 30 minutes, top with mozzarella cheese and cook uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
Enjoy with your favorite gremlins!
