Hawaiian Sloppy Joes

Hawaiian sloppy Joes are a twist on the classic sloppy Joe! We added a few different spices and a pineapple ring; the flavor is fantastic. Plus, this recipe is so simple and makes the perfect dinner.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We’ve always loved a good sloppy joe sandwich. They are so simple to prepare and can be enjoyed in so many different ways. You can put the meat on a hamburger bun, or we also like it over a baked potato. They come together quickly and reheat great. This Hawaiian version doesn’t disappoint! The pineapple and ginger certainly add a different flavor, and we love it.

SWAPS
