GRAMMY’S ULTIMATE SLOPPY JOES are the perfect go-to for a quick and easy dinner option for a busy evening! The rich, finger-lickin’ BBQ-saucy meat, piled on a warm, soft bun, makes this savory sandwich a favorite for young and old! This recipe is such a throwback to my childhood and was a favorite for my kids growing up, as well! It might be kind of “sloppy” but that’s part of the nostalgia of this dish, right?! haha
