Sloppy Joe Sliders

Did you know Sloppy Joe had a son? Yep. He found a beautiful sandwich who shared his penchant for untidiness and they fell in love. They married and eventually had a son—young Sloppy Joe, Jr. who was, of course, a slider. He possessed all the delicious, hearty filling that we have all grown to love in his parents, but he was much smaller. Perfect for a handheld snack or fun dinner for the family. Thank you, Sloppy Joe, for introducing Sloppy Joe Sliders to us. How shall we repay you? Eating your offspring, of course. Okay, just talking about eating the baby of anything is just plain awkward.

So let me just give you the mouthwatering lowdown. Each slider is topped with a slice of cheddar and then piled high with a filling of ground beef, celery, and onion in a sweet and tangy sauce. This one-pot recipe makes a lot of the filling and is perfect for leftovers. You can even freeze it to use for later!
