Notes
It’s hard to beat homemade Sloppy Joe meat, and this recipe tastes great with leftovers. Save time by making a big batch of Sloppy Joe meat, freezing it, and using leftovers to make these sandwiches.
If you find that your meat mixture keeps falling out of your sandwich, try melting your cheese more before adding your filling. Melting the cheese will help the whole sandwich stick together. And if you still have too much mess, try adding less filling or more cheese.
