I’ve made these Sloppy Joe’s before and they were wonderful. I vow to never go back to a can and why should anyone? I get to use organic ingredients and I don’t have to add green peppers if i don’t want to. Also, the onions and green peppers in the cans don’t even have flavor or texture by the time you get them anyway, just flavorless mush. Now, we didn’t have buns either and J will NOT use sliced bread for anything that should have a bun. I don’t agree but I can somewhat understand. That means I got to learn how to make my own buns! I tried the first recipe I could find with good comment reviews and wallah! The girls loved them and the buns were perfect size and flavor. Plus they were a little more sturdy then regular buns, for lack of a better word. They were perfect for the sloppiness of the Joe meaning they didn’t sag or get mushy. Also when making your own buns you can make them any size you wish. I decided to go with sliders to be different and cute as well as a big Sloppy Joe is very hard to handle, especially for a 5 year old. We ate everything up and even little Z ate a whole sandwich to herself. They were perfect for her little hands. Kid and mother approved. These will be in rotation.
