Sloppy Joe Cups
The all-American dinner Sloppy Joes, is the best go-to dinner for those nights when you just aren’t sure what you want for dinner. Sloppy Joe Cups are a tiny version of this great American dinner and is simple and easy to make. A great item to have for those busy nights with running the kids to practices.
Also a great finger-food lunch during the summer, as they can be made ahead of time and kept in the freezer. These would even be great for something new to take to a gathering or to go with the munchies on game nights.
