n a large skillet over medium high heat, brown the ground beef and drain the grease. Add in the bell pepper, onion and garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes until tender. Add in the soy sauce, paprika and Italian seasoning, stir to combine. Add in the diced tomatoes and sloppy joe sauce, stir well. Reduce heat to low and stir in the cooked pasta. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Allow to sit till the cheese has begun to melt. I served ours with a salad and garlic bread.
