  • Use ground turkey or chicken: To make a healthier version of sloppy joes, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
  • Add some veggies: To sneak in some extra vegetables, add diced bell peppers, carrots, or celery to the sloppy joe mixture.
  • Use a variety of buns: Sloppy joes can be served on hamburger buns, hot dog buns, or even slider buns. If you're using slider buns, you can make mini sloppy joes, which are perfect for parties or appetizers.
  • Top it off: Serve sloppy joes with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, sliced pickles, or diced onions.
