Notes
EXPERT TIPS
Finely mince your meat as it cooks using a meat mincer. The finer the ground meat the finer the texture and the most perfect turn out for sloppy joes.
We also like to ensure that the vegetables are finely chopped as well, this vegetable chopper will give that onion and bell pepper a finely chopped texture.
You can use all four colors of bell peppers. We personally enjoy red the best for the added sweetness, classic sloppy joes are made with green pepper.
