I don’t think I’ll ever eat regular old Sloppy Joes again.
Check out what my pals over at Normal Cooking had to say about this recipe:
“I loved this pizza twist on a traditional sloppy joe. The pizza sauce and Italian seasoning definitely gave it a pizza-like flavor. But I think my favorite part was the cheese! I don’t know why it never occurred to me to put cheese on a sloppy joe before, but consider my life changed. Whether I’m making these pizza sloppy joes or just regular ones, I’ll definitely be adding some shredded mozzarella cheese to the meat mixture from now on. It was so good! And everyone knows cheese makes everything better.”
My kids loved these pizza-themed sloppy joes and so did my husband!
