Sloppy Joes with Toasted Cheesy Hamburger Buns are so simple to throw together and oh so yummy! I love this recipe for many reasons but my top reason is how fast it is done. From start to finish dinner is done in less than 45 minutes.

These sloppy joes are sweet and savory with the perfect balance of tang and zest. And best of all they served on toasted, cheesy hamburger bun.

Serves 8

These sloppy joes with toasted cheesy hamburger buns are fantastic. We love our served with homemade sweet potato fries.

Tips:

• The recipe can be cut in half for a smaller family.
• Or doubled for a larger crowd.
• These sloppy joes are freezer friendly. Simply store cooled sloppy joes in a zip top bag or airtight container and freeze.

I often make 1.5 times the amount and then freeze half of it. Then when I’m ready to use it I simply thaw it out, warm it up and dinner is done in less than 15 minutes!

Have a great day!
