    Sausage Pizza Sloppy Joes Recipe - Easy Meal

    Each bite of Sausage Pizza Sloppy Joes yields a mouthful of hot gooey melted mozzarella, resting on top of browned ground beef and Italian sausage swimming in a flavorful sauce!

    I can’t be the only person who never liked traditional Sloppy Joes, right? As a child, my enthusiasm for the soft, messy gruel schlepped on a bun was tepid at best.  For me, it was temporary sustenance, nothing more. However, recently my wife served up some Pizza Sloppy Joes for supper and my entire attitude towards the sauced sandwich shifted. Who knew that would shift my entire attitude towards homemade Sloppy Joes?

    Hot gooey melted mozzarella, resting on top of browned ground beef and Italian sausage swimming in a flavorful sauce? This I can get behind! My wife’s version did not include Italian sausage, but for any sausage pizza fan, Sausage Pizza Sloppy Joes makes for a flavorful variation.

    If you wanted to create pepperoni pizza sloppy Joes instead, it should work just fine. However, I would start out only using 4 oz of pepperoni, or the flavor may get overwhelming.

    I used my 12” Calphalon Contemporary skillet (affiliate link) to fit all of the ingredients in nicely.  I like using a nonstick skillet for recipes like Sausage Pizza Sloppy Joes because I don’t have to worry as much about scorching. Plus, when I’m done cooking, I only need a damp paper towel to clean out the pan! Yes, really, it is that easy to clean!

    Simply add the meat and vegetables to the skillet and cook until the meat has browned and vegetables are tender. Once cooked, drain the fat and add the marinara sauce. Stir to combine and serve on buns topped with Mozzarella cheese. It is really that easy.

      Sloppy Joes bring back sad childhood memories. For whatever reason, my dad would NEVER be home when it was Sloppy Joe night, and I used to think he purposely scheduled himself to work late those nights. My sister loved them, but I was that kid sitting sullenly at the table, staring at a cold sandwich till bedtime. Even now, I still don't like them, and will pass them up if they're offered. That being said, I'd totally eat a Sausage Pizza Sloppy Joe!

        Yep, I was also the kid sitting at the table endlessly. Though, Turkey Patties were my main nemesis. You still, won't find me publishing a turkey patty recipe ANY TIME in the near future! I was an incredibly picky eater, no one would have ever believed I would have grown up to be a foodie!
