Notes
- Recipe Tips:
- Corn - Either fresh or frozen corn can be used in place of canned.
- Spice Level - This recipe makes a mildly spicy Sloppy Joe. To reduce the level of spiciness, use a mild taco seasoning packet and do not add the green chilies.
- Leftovers - If there are any leftovers, I suggest reheating the sloppy Joe meat in a pan with a little beef stock or water to help loosen it up.
Variations
Also excellent with ground pork, turkey, or chicken! This would also be great for a filling for tacos, or topping for taco salad.
