Baked-in-Buns Sloppy Joes

Serves: Serves: 8
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 (16-ounce) cans Manwich Sloppy Joe sauce
- 8 low-calorie hamburger buns, cut in half
Directions:

- Add sauce; cook, stirring frequently, until meat mixture is heated through.
- Scoop out centers of tops and bottoms of hamburger buns. Divide sloppy Joe mixture among bun bottoms; replace tops.
- Wrap individual sandwiches in heavy-duty foil.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Bake sandwiches 15 to 20 minutes.
