It’s Friday and I wanted to make something simple and easy for dinner. Sloppy Joes are a classic all American meal that tastes best when it is made right in your own kitchen. This recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare and is so much better for you than the packets of Sloppy Joe seasoning or canned versions available in the grocery store. Spoon the seasoned meat and sauce onto toasted, buttered crusty rolls and serve with a side salad for a great family meal.
