Sloppy Joe Tacos
Everyone grows up on sloppy joes, right? My dad used to make them for my sister and I all the time. He would use the mix straight from the Manwich can and serve them on a bun. I also loved topping my sandwich with sour cream and sometimes cheese. This recipe is perfect because it lets me add all of the toppings I want because the sloppy joe is in a shell. That’s right, a taco shell! No Manwich cans here, this is easy and from scratch.
Add whatever toppings you fancy. The green onion is a great addition and of course I love cheese and sour cream. This is a meal the kids will love and so will Mom and Dad.
