Sloppy Joes

We didn’t have Sloppy Joes often when I was a kid, but when we did… oh man. I’m not sure how my mom made them, but I imagine most of the meal came out of a can. She’d serve them with pasta salad or macaroni and cheese (a full-fledged pastaholic to this day, my mom served most things with a side of pasta). Or if we were at my grandma’s, a side of potato chips. Not the healthiest of meals by any stretch of the imagination, but an awfully satisfying one! Mine’s pictured with my Five-Minute Sandwich Bread for an easy gluten-free bun, but for an AIP version, I suggest serving as a lettuce wrap or on a roasted sweet-potato round as an open-faced sandwich. Roasted broccoli or asparagus, or even a side salad, make for good companions!
