Sweet, tangy, zesty, and delicious sloppy joes.
Sloppy joes are such an easy meal to make and I love them because it’s a recipe that can easily feed a crowd. I sometimes double this and freeze the second batch for another time. If you decide to do that, just be sure to cool mixture completely before transferring to freezer safe container. You can freeze it for up to four months. Just thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
