Made with beef, BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese, these sloppy joe muffins are sure to be a family favorite!

I’m going to be honest, sloppy joes aren’t a recipe that I get excited to make. But my son absolutely devours them, so I always give in when he begs me to make them.

Sloppy joes are messy, always have too much sauce and not enough bread!

So this week, I decided to switch up the recipe a bit and guess what? This is my kind of sloppy joes! 

This recipe isn’t as messy and is still kid friendly. Yay for making a recipe that everyone enjoys!

I prefer making my own sloppy joe sauce because I don’t like a ton of sauce on my meat. But feel free to use a can of sauce if that’s what you have.
