• Warm oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, and bell pepper; breaking up the meat into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes until beef is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Drain off grease.
• Stir in tomato paste until thoroughly combined.
• Add in ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
• Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until mixture has thickened.
• In the meantime, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Place the taco shells in the baking dish, standing up. (I'm able to fit 10 taco shells in the dish by adding 2 on each side.)
• Bake the taco shells for 5 minutes by themselves to allow them to crisp up. Remove from the oven.
• Sprinkle a little cheese into the bottom of each taco shell (this helps create a barrier between the wet meat and shell, to keep them crispy.) Top with the sloppy Joe mixture.
• Sprinkle each shell generously with the remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the edges of the shells are browned.
• Remove from the oven and top with your favorite items.
• Eat right away and enjoy!

Reduce the heat to low, stir in the ketchup, sugar, 1/2 cup water and remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
