Buffalo Sloppy Joe's

There is something about a Sloppy Joe that makes me feel like a kid again. It brings back fond memories of county fairs, with the smell of this barbecue concoction drifting through the air. A great make ahead recipe for reheating when life gets busy, but a hot meal is needed!

    • Today is Memorial Day and your Sloppy Joes are on the menu. They are excellent with just the right amount of spices for an interesting taste. When I was a kid (75 years ago) my mother made Chili Burgers as a special treat. Thanks for sharing.

    • Made these Sloppy Joes and they were a hit! We froze some for later use. After my husband tasted them, he said it needs a bit more ketchup. So, I added another 2 squirts to it and some Worcestershire sauce. We had some of these last night and wish we would have kept more out of the freezer!
