Notes
- I use my homemade cajun blend but use one your family loves.
- Depending on your cajun seasoning, you may need more or less salt. Taste your mixture before adding salt.
- The time you cook your miture for will slightly depend on how 'wet' you like your sloppy joe mixture. We list a juicy, dry consistency. But if you prefer it wetter, cook it for less time or add a bit extra tomato and cream.
- I prefer to toast the rolls and serve everything on the table for people to serve themselves. This helps keep the rolls crisp for longer.
