Game Day Sliders

 

OPTIONS FOR GAME DAY SLIDERS
Sloppy Joes Sliders
Cook's notes: Sloppy Joes are always a winner on Game Day.  
This recipe makes 6 Sloppy Joes sandwiches. To avoid a soggy bun, toasting the buns helps to support the meat mixture.
Sloppy Joes are an American creation that has been around since at least the 1950s. They probably got their start as a variation of the “loose meat" sandwiches popular at the time. According to legend, a cook named Joe at Floyd Angell's café in Sioux City, Iowa, added tomato sauce to his “loose meat" sandwiches and the “sloppy joe" sandwich was born. And the rest, as they say, is history. Growing up in a large family, it was one of my mom's favorite meals to serve as it stretched to feed a crowd, and 10 we were. Given the current state of times, budget-friendly options are a good choice. And it's a one-pot meal. 

I would suggest making the sloppy joe mixture the day before it's needed, as it tastes better on the second day. 
 Ingredients: 
  • 1 pound of hamburger no less than 80%
  • 1 cup each diced celery and sweet onions
  • 1-2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
