This is a quick and easy meal that also reheats well for lunch the next day or two. Serve this stuffed into a whole-grain bun and eat with your hands, or ladle it over the buns (open-face style) and eat with a fork. I usually serve steamed kale with this dish and fresh corn, when in season.

Really good Sloppy Joe’s! It’s a fork and knife kind of sandwich that we ended up eating open-faced. The recipe says it makes 4 sandwiches, which I agree if it’s for 4 adults. I’d it’s 2 adults and some kids you might be able to make 5-6 sandwiches. Nice and filling!
