Comfort food at it’s finest, but let’s face it… that big bun on any sloppy joe just adds lots of calories and carbs and little nutrition. So if you’re looking for a healthier alternative or you’re following paleo or whole 30 plans, this is perfect for your dinner table.
My girl’s thought these were good. My husband ate all of the leftovers. And I just loved that it was easy to prep and gluten-free!
