Quick, easy, ooey, gooey, messy, tasty and kid friendly cheese burgers in Sloppy Joe form!
Today’s recipe is some down home comfort food, sloppy joe style with bacon cheeseburger themed sloppy joes! Sloppy Joes are sandwiches filled with a meat ‘sauce’ consisting mainly of ground beef and and a tasty sauce to help keep it together, keep it moist and add flavour! They kind remind me of burgers, only easier to make, since you can skip forming the beef into patties, so I often make burger themed sloppy joes and they are amazing! This is basically a standard sloppy joe recipe with the addition of bacon and cheese which are both mixed right into the beef sauce and then I add my favourite burger toppings to the sandwich to finish them off! In addition to tasting great, these sandwiches are super easy to make and kid friendly making for a nice weeknight meal!
