It’s no wonder where Sloppy Joes get their name. I’ve never eaten one that wasn’t sloppy, have you?
Well, meet the even Sloppier Joe. Not kidding, you’ll be licking your lips, fingers, and then licking up all the drippings on the plate. Not that I did.. no… I would never…but my husband sure did ๐ He had church meetings and didn’t get home until late, so I enjoyed my sloppy meal with Joe, fixed Brett a plate then put everything away. (I froze the meat so we can have them again next week.) He was slightly disappointed when he went to get thirds and the meat was gone. When the hubby is going for thirds, that’s when you know you’ve made a good meal.

Green leaf lettuce, optional
1 medium tomoato, optional

If you want to make your own buns, I made these Super Quick Whole Wheat Buns and they were tasty!
This blog tortures me when I am at work. I’m just going to come to your house for dinner now.
I love that you made your own buns (which makes you awesome). I hated sloppy joes as a kid, then I revisted them about a year ago. Needless to say – love them! Thanks for the dinner idea.
