The theme around here seems to be quick, delicious and easy meals. This recipe definitely fits that bill. This past weekend I was looking for something quick and I didn’t want to have to go out to the grocery store to put something together. The beauty of this recipe is that most of the ingredients are probably already in your pantry. I didn’t add any water but if you like your sloppy joes with a bit more juice, please add the water.
And who doesn’t love sloppy joes?
