Sloppy Joe Sticks - Handheld Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes are always a favorite meal at our house. The downside is they can be super messy to eat and definitely harder to eat when on the go, at the fair, in the barn or tailgating at the latest sporting event. These sloppy joe sticks are handheld sloppy joes that meld meat and cheese together inside a burrito made from pizza crust.

I wasn’t joking when I said we love sloppy joes at our house. I have a recipe for sloppy joes for a crowd, no precooking all in the crock pot sloppy joes recipe, and even a sloppy joe biscuit casserole. So, when I was getting a request for sloppy joes on a night we were not going to have enough time to sit down to eat because of outside work, these sloppy joe sticks were the perfect handheld sloppy joes solution.

The sloppy joe recipe is a basic recipe. Six simple base ingredients of ground beef, onion, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Combine with salt and pepper for a flavorful punch of flavor for the heart of these sloppy joe sticks.
