Tex Mex Style Sloppy Joe
While this isn't a traditional Sloppy Joe recipe, I'd venture to say it's better. Growing up in AZ meant taco seasoning on just about everything and the addition of it on this quick and easy weeknight staple is perfection. Like everything on WGC, feel free to get creative with your toppings! Extra cheese, salsa, guacamole, sour cream... you name it!
