I was in the mood for some sloppy joe sandwiches and decided to make some sliders with the meat filling.
This sloppy joe recipe is pretty basic compared to my other sloppy joe recipes like my Bacon Beer & Cheese Sloppy Joe Sandwich or my Turkey Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.
For this slider recipe, you can use any type of slider buns you want. I like to use Hawaiian buns but this time around I decided to use their Pretzel version of their slider buns.
I had some Colby Jack Cheese on hand so that is what I used but you can use whatever kind of shredded cheese you have on hand. As long as it melts well you are good to go.
The glaze listed on the recipe car is optional. Personally I like to brush some melted butter with some seasonings and grated parmesan cheese but these sliders are delicious even without the glaze!

I have had sliders before, but not like these. I made this recipe for supper and it was a great success. My family loved them. I will make them again for a BBQ that is coming up soon.
