Recipe Description
The sloppy joe filling is packed full of vegetables and meat. I often use ground turkey because it’s a nice healthy lean meat, but ground beef is very good with these as well. I use shredded zucchini and carrot, to sneak in a little extra nutrition. These sloppy joes aren’t actually all that “sloppy” because my kids used to get frustrated trying to eat them when all the filling kept falling out, so I started hollowing out dinner rolls and stuffing them with sloppy joe mix and cheese. This way, the sloppy joe mix stays put.
