Why you'll love this recipe
Sloppy Joe's were one of Mom's go-to favorites. They were great for anytime we needed a quick bite or friends were over. This is the meal she would make! Now I make it because it's perfect for game day or snack time. And like the Ground Turkey Sliders (so good!) they make a great dinner on busy nights.

Sloppy Joe Sliders with Hawaiian Rolls
Equipment
- 1 9x13 casserole dish
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef ground turkey or ground chicken
- ½ bell pepper diced
- ½ yellow onion diced
- ½ teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
- 15 ounce can Manwich sloppy joe sauce
- 12 Hawaiian butter rolls
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray the bottom of the casserole dish with non stick cooking spray. This will help crisp up the bottom of the sliders.
- Dice the onion and bell pepper into a half-inch dice.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced bell peppers and onions. Seasoning with the Montreal steak seasoning. Brown until no longer pink. Drain well.
- Add the sloppy joe sauce, and mix together to combine.
- Using a large serrated knife, slice the rolls in half so you have a 'slab' of tops and a 'slab' of bottoms. Do not separate the rolls or slice them individually. They should stay connected.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls in the bottom of the casserole dish. Spoon the meat mixture over the top and spread evenly. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Add the top slab of rolls.
- Melt one teaspoon of butter. Brush the top of the sliders with butter. Finish by sprinkling with Italian seasoning.
- Cover with foil, place in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil for the last 2-3 minutes so the tops of the rolls are golden brown. Serve and enjoy!

FAQ's
No, while they make look similar they are not the same thing. Sloppy Joes have a sweeter sauce and are made for buns.
Manwich is just a brand name for canned sloppy joe sauce that you can use to save a little time in the kitchen.
Loose meat sandwiches are just sandwiches made with chopped ground beef. Whereas sloppy joes are made with ground beef and a sweet sauce.
Top Tip
I recommend using a glass or ceramic baking dish so that the sliders do not overcook the bottom.
