These Sloppy Joe Sliders are not only easy to make but also incredibly satisfying. The combination of sweet and tangy sauce with the savory beef creates an irresistible flavor that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
These mini sandwiches pack all the classic flavors of traditional Sloppy Joes into bite-sized portions, making them perfect for sharing during game day or any casual get-together. With a savory filling of ground beef, onions, and green peppers, topped with gooey cheddar cheese, these sliders are sure to be a hit with your guests.
Helpful Tips
- Customize the heat: If you enjoy a bit of spice, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the Sloppy Joe mixture. This will give your sliders an extra kick that spice lovers will appreciate!
- Make ahead: You can prepare the Sloppy Joe filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it on the stove before serving, allowing the flavors to deepen overnight for an even tastier slider.
- Choose the right buns: Opt for slider buns that are sturdy enough to hold the filling without falling apart. Brioche or potato slider buns are great choices as they add a touch of sweetness and are soft yet durable. I use King’s Hawaiian savory butter rolls.
