6 creative twists on sloppy joes that redefine comfort food

Chicken Sloppy Joes

by Sheila Farrah from Yorktown, VA

If you’re looking for a quick and easy meal that will feed a group, try these chicken sloppy joes. They’re a simple dinner or great on game day. Sweet and tangy, using canned chicken to make a sloppy joe is a nice twist. We added shredded mozzarella on top and melted it a bit and served sweet potato fries on the side. Yum! If you don’t want to use canned chicken, boil a few chicken breasts. When cooked, shred and simmer in the sauce. Click here for the recipe.

Sloppy Giuseppe Sliders

by Lisa Speer from Palm Beach, FL

These sloppy Giuseppe sliders are an Italian twist on a sloppy joe. The savory filling is full of Italian sausage, tomatoes, garlic, and basil. It’s fantastic with the sweet slider roll. They’re a quick and easy dinner. Or, prepare these sliders on game day for a hearty snack. Here’s the recipe.

Baked Sloppy Joe With Biscuits

by Sharon Freeze from Buffalo, NY

This is a fantastic rustic sloppy joe recipe. It’s super easy to make the sauce. In fact, you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen. Cooking the biscuits on top is genius. It’s wonderful to serve the sloppy joes with a big biscuit on top. As you cut into it with a fork, scoop up some of the sloppy joe, and eat it all together. It’s a tasty bite. We love the option of cooking over a campfire. An easy camping dinner option. Click here for the recipe.

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes

by Anthony Nicometi Jr from Cheektowaga, NY

This is a great take on a sloppy joe. It has the onion, pepper and cheese flavor from a Philly cheesesteak but uses ground beef like a sloppy joe. We opted to use Cheez Whiz when testing and loved how it melts into the meat. Provolone cheese would be delicious, too. Served on a toasted bun, your family is going to gobble it up. They may not be the prettiest when served, but boy is this good. Here’s the recipe.

Stromboli Joes

by Stephanie Dodd from Kansas City, MO

Everyone in the Test Kitchen loved this Italian twist on the classic sloppy joe. The amount of Italian seasoning in the meat mixture is just right and pairs perfectly with the garlic butter and cheese on the bread. This is a cinch to make and will be a crowd pleaser. A great dinner recipe for a busy night or for your next tailgate. You can find the recipe here.

BBQ Sloppy Joe Sliders

by Virginia (Ginger) Dean from Toomsboro, GA

We really enjoyed these quick and easy bite-sized sloppy joes. It’s a tasty variation on a slider recipe. Sweet and tangy, store-bought barbecue sauce is jazzed up with ketchup, mustard, and onion flakes. The hardest part of this recipe is browning the ground beef. They’ll be great for a party. Set it out and let everyone make their own. We served ours with mini pickles and chips. Here’s the recipe.
