You know when you have a recipe that your husband loves… the recipe where other recipes pale in comparison to their taste buds? Well, this Sloppy Joe recipe is my husband’s favorite. I tried making another recipe – and got “the look” coupled with “the comments” about how it wasn’t as good as his favorite Sloppy Joe recipe.

Season with salt, pepper & cayenne pepper to taste.
-
Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes.

Serve on buns and top with shredded cheese.
Serve with:
