Sloppy Joe’s are a real special treat! The great thing about this sloppy joe’s recipe though is that it’s made with ground chicken and not ground beef. Keeping sloppy joe’s on the healthier side makes it a no-brainer when choosing what to cook for dinner.
It’s only fitting to quote the cafeteria lady in Billy Madison with this recipe, “have some more Sloppy Joe’s…I made em’ extra sloppy for ya”
BBQ sauce, tomato paste, onions, water…just a few simple ingredients and you’re on your way to a great meal loaded with flavor.
