Sloppy Joe's Topped with Zesty Asian Slaw

This recipe is Gluten-Free!

Sloppy Joe's are probably one of the easiest dinner ideas you can come up with. I decided to give up taco night for something a little bit different. You can always skip a step and use a pre-made sloppy Joe sauce or seasoning packet but its always worth the extra effort when its made from scratch.

Because this recipe is so versatile, it really does make dinner quick and easy. Throw in whatever condiments you have sitting in the fridge and if sloppy Joe's aren't really your thing, add a topping of slaw or melted cheese to adjust to your taste. 

I cant help that I love vegetables- and dips and sauces are my jam, so naturally I concocted a quick slaw to top my sloppy Joe with. Because I was a little low on ground beef, I added a couple pork sausages, that were stuffed with peppers and onions so it saved me the trouble of cutting up any extra vegetables.

Add a side of fries, or wavy potato chips and dinner is served!

I purchased these gluten-free Schar ciabatta rolls at Walmart's Neighborhood Market
