Your favorite messy meal with plenty of spice…
Get your sloppy game on with this traditional favorite gone plenty spicy. This spicy sloppy joes recipe features both jalapeño pepper and Tabasco sauce to kick the norm up a few notches. It’s a great memorable meal for spicy food fans on game day or family night.
For something a little different, try the sloppy joe ground beef with pasta instead of hamburger buns. We like it paired with penne pasta.
