Sloppy Joe Sliders

Guys, it’s sliders time! If you’re new to the blog, welcome to our ongoing series where we feature these delicious mini sandwiches at least twice a month. Check out the list below of what we have so far.

As you can see, we already have a quite a selection on the blog but although they’re all yummy and tasty, G and I do have our favorites.

While he’s partial to the Philly and I can’t get enough of the chicken bacon ranch, we both agree these mini sloppy joes take the crown! Meaty, saucy, cheesy, and loaded with comfort food flavors, they’re a sure hit with kids and adults alike.

Lightly grease the baking dish so the sliders don’t stick when they bake. When cutting the bread, use a serrated knife to keep it from falling apart. Try to slice the bottom a little thicken than the top as it will carry the weight of the meat mixture.

Make sure the sloppy joe beef is adequately reduced, you want it saucy but thick and not overly wet. Once it’s cooked, give it a few minutes to cool before layering on top of the slab of bread as the escaping steam might make the bread soggy.
