Garden Sloppy Joes

This recipe comes from the new Gooseberry Patch Cookbook, Mom Knows Best (affiliate link). I’ll be doing my review and giveaway for a copy very soon so keep your eyes peeled. Let me start off by saying that I love sloppy joes and I know there are a lot of recipes out there but the one thing I loved about this one is that it had a lot more veggies mixed in so that the meat goes a lot further. The fact that it was delicious is a bonus.

There is no bun in the picture because we didn’t have any gluten free buns on hand so we ate it with some gluten free biscuits that I had made and it was still delicious. But typically you’re going to want to eat this as more of a sandwich.

Here’s the recipe so you can give it a try.

Garden Sloppy Joes

1 lb. ground beef
