Taste and Adjust

If you want sloppy joes more “saucy” simple add additional ketchup and tomato paste. Otherwise, adjust any salt or pepper, as desired.

Serving

Take your bun and place a slice of cheese (dairy-free or regular) on the bottom. Then add a scoop of the Sloppy Joe mix. On top of that add a few burger pickles, some pickled onions and a little extra dijon mustard. Then enjoy with good company!!!


TOPPINGS / ADDITIONS

INGREDIENTS

• Bun of your choice
• Slice of cheese (regular or dairy-free)
• Dijon mustard
• Burger pickles
• Pickled red onions

We've had plenty of sloppy joes in or day, but these ones goes home with the blue ribbon! The flavors in the mix and sauce are so good and then those toppings! we are adding in quick-pickled onions, pickles and a little extra dijon mustard (because, why not). They come together perfectly!

And, they can easily be PALEO, WHOLE30 friendly by serving with roasted sweet potato slices instead of buns!!

Pro Tips

• Don't skip the toppings! They are worth it!!
• Need it to be gluten-free? Use tamari instead of soy sauce, omit the worcestershire sauce and serve on a gluten-free bun.
