Honey Garlic BBQ Sauced Sloppy Joes

 Autumn seemed to make a slow entrance this year but once it got started her exit was quick. Plummeting temperatures and gusty winds ended it all. So lucky to have gotten these last few pictures of autumn in its full regalia.

Honey Garlic BBQ Sauced Sloppy Joe Sandwich 

Cook's Notes: A quick easy sloppy joe sandwich filled with a tasty honey garlic BBQ sauce.  It may be time to elevate your usual sloppy joe mixture. For me, the taste was off the charts. SO GOOD! As a low-carb alternative, serve the filling in Bibb lettuce leaves.  

The recipe serves 4 and was adapted from closetcooking.com

Ingredients: 

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 4 buns

Directions:

• Brown hamburger with onions and crumble meat.
