Get Messy

This savory sandwich type is known for its messy demeanor and presentation. Traditionally made with ground beef, onions, and tomato sauce, we’ve used unique ingredients like fresh vegetables and beans to lighten the load without sacrificing any of the delicious flavor.

First up are Sloppy Joe Sliders. Serve up mini versions of a weeknight favorite. Make the sauce ahead of time, if you like. Just reheat it and toast the buns to finish the sliders.
