Simple Sloppy Joes (Gluten Free)

I remember when I was a kid having easy meal nights. One of the meals I remember was sloppy joes. I guess they were even simplier than mine back then. You would brown ground beef and add a can of manwhich sauce. Hmm, I couldn’t even imagine doing that these days.

If you like sloppy joes but would prefer a pasta dish, why not try my Sloppy Joe Pasta!

Now that I have my buns tasting great, it’s back to being able to pick up sandwiches such as Sloppy Joes!! Here is my version.

Sloppy Joes (Gluten Free)

1 medium onion-chopped
1/2 medium green pepper-chopped
