It’s Manwich Monday, y’all and that means we have a delish Sloppy Joe inspired dinner tonight.
Since my kids love tacos I decided to make Sloppy Joe Tacos and for an added twist {and low carb option} I made the shells out of shredded cheese instead of traditional tortillas!

Make Tonight a Manwich Night
As you know my family and I love cooking with Manwich, especially on busy weeknights!
The kids love the tangy flavor and fun Sloppy Joe inspired recipes and I love how easy to use and flavor packed Manwich sloppy joe sauce is!
Manwich is a hearty, meat free sauce with a sweet and tangy taste.
It is available in three varieties : Manwich Original, Manwich Bold and Manwich Thick & Chunky.

Cheese Shell Sloppy Joe Tacos
Makes 9 regular tacos or 12 small tacos
Ingredients
- 15.5 oz can Manwich Original Sloppy Joe Sauce
- 1/2 medium yellow onion diced
- 1 lb ground beef {I used lean ground sirloin}
- 3 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- chopped avocado tomato, cilantro, and a scoop of sour cream, for topping
Instructions
- In a large skillet crumble ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned.
- Add diced onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Drain if needed.
- Pour in Manwich and stir and heat through.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add 1/3 cup scoops of shredded cheese in 4 piles on the baking sheet.
- You can also make smaller 1/4 cup piles for mini taco shells.
- Bake for 8 minutes then remove the sheet from the oven and let the cheese circles cool for 30 seconds to a minute. I also gently blot off excess oil with a papertowel.
- Gently remove each cheese circle with a spatula and lay on top of a suspended wooden spoon so that the cheese folds over into a taco shell shape.
- Let each shell cool completely then repeat with remaining cheese.
- You should get about 9 regular size taco shells or 12 small taco shells.
- Fill shells with the sloppy joe mixture then top with your favorite toppings. I like chopped tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
- Serve with rice and beans on the side.

Ha! I"ve never even thought of making tacos shells out of cheese. I've got a kiddo that I bet would LOVE this!
Cool idea! My husband would be ALL OVER this! 🙂
My family loves sloppy joes, so I'm sure that they would get a kick out of having them in taco form. And seriously, cheese tacos? Simply brilliant!
