Recipe: Sloppy Joes

Yummmmm! Sloppy Joes are a childhood favorite that you CAN'T live without! You may be trying to eat healthier and are concerned that Sloppy Joes aren't a good option, so you opt out - wrong. Sure, you will want to stay away from that great $1 can of Manwich, but you can still have your childhood favorites. Many homemade recipes call for a large amount of ketchup (high fructose corn syrup) and brown sugar. These two ingredients are imperative to making the BEST sloppy joes, but be careful with how much you use!

2. Add Ketchip and Brown Sugar until combined.
3. Mix the flour with the water and pour into pan. Combine all ingredients.

5. That's it! Enjoy!

There you have it, 5 Ingredient Sloppy Joes! Eat this with a bun, wrap, or even a flatbread! Be creative with your recipes and keep your taste buds guessing! Enjoy the fun that is along the journey! It's great to try new things, and to think differently. My sloppy joes made roughly 8 sloppy joes - but it depends on how much you pile on your bun! I divided this into 4 servings (enough for 2 sloppy joes) and the mixture came to 228 calories (14c/4f/33p). Don't forget to adjust for whatever kind of bread you use.
