Background of Kid Friendly Sloppy Joes

Many years ago when I made Sloppy Joes my kids would pick out the onions and peppers from the meat so they would not have to eat them.  So I decided that I would make a simple Sloppy Joe’s recipe that eliminated the vegetables they just didn’t want on their sandwich.  Funny thing is they like fresh cut up vegetables on the side when eating Sloppy Joes.

So as my kids got older they would invite their friends over to have Sloppy Joes because they thought it was the best!  It became a tradition to have Sloppy Joes as a meal with family and friends.  Also everyone’s favorite is Bison Sloppy Joes, and whenever it is available at the store I make sure to purchase bison ground meat.

I highly recommend you give this recipe a try.  See if your family enjoys this simple recipe and if it becomes one of their favorites.
