If you are looking for a quick & easy recipe that can be made from stuff you already have in your pantry, look no further! This delicious Sloppy Joe recipe is for you!
While looking in our pantry and wondering what we could make without having to go to the store, my husband and I got a brilliant idea! Our kids had never had Sloppy Joes before (I know, we are horrible parents), and that sounded delicious!
We looked up several recipes and discovering there was always something to sweeten the meat, like brown sugar or molasses. Well guess what? Those were two things we actually didn’t have. So what were we to do? Then we spotted the maple syrup and our new favorite Sloppy Joe recipe was born!
