Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine the brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce in a small bowl. Heat the EVOO in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until well browned. Season with salt and lots of pepper. Add the garlic, bell peppers and onions and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Pour the tomato mixture over the beef, add the beef broth and stir until well combined. Simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the macaroni in a large pot of salted boiling water until not quite tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and add to the sauce. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish and top with the cheese.

Bake until the casserole is bubbling and the top is browned. Top with the pickles and serve from the dish.

Cook's Note: The unbaked casserole can be covered and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal. Bring to room temperature and bake as directed before serving.

    Very simple sauce and steps. The macaroni with ridges is a must. Not a fan of pickles, but everything else was great. Kids ages 16 months to 8 years old (and adults loved it. This can be made ahead, so freezing one would be ideal.

    This is excellent!!! My family of boys LOVED this. I did too, for all the fresh and home made ingredients. I will never buy sloppy joe sauce already made again.

    I cooked fresh cauliflower with the pasta for the last 3-4 minutes of the pasta's cook time and it added more veggie goodness to the dish. I loved the sweet/tangy flavor of the sauce too! The pickles are such a yummy/crunchy addition to an already wonderful dish. I also used ground turkey instead of beef and you can't even tell the difference. As a working Mommy, I want my daughter and husband to eat fresh, healthy recipes and Rachael Ray always comes through! Love it!
