Does this freeze well?
The Sloppy Joe does, yes. To reheat from frozen simply thaw and reheat in a skillet. You may need to add a touch of water to help loosen things up.
can you use ground Turkey &/or Chicken instead of Ground Beef?
Sure you can
My kids ALL loved it and keep asking when I’m doing it again. Very quick and easy.
YUM! kid friendly
this is great!i make it for tacos! It does not taste like vomit unless you use rotten meat.
this is great!i make it for tacos! unless youre using spoiled meat this will taste great!
Texturally offensive The texture resembles vomit, and the taste is worse than the texture. That is the most polite statement that can be made about this recipe.
this is the most offensive review I’ve read on Kosher.com
Fast and Delicious! The whole family loved this easy and quick recipe. This will definitely become part of our rotation menu!
The pita ads such a nice change from regular sloppy joes.
