Interesting ways to spice up Sloppy Joes?

add

-curry powder

-sauteed mushrooms

-sauerkraut

-pickles or black olives

Add onions, diced celery, shredded onion. Use that spice package from a taco kit and then add some salsa to moisten it.

What I like to do instead of Sloppy Joes is to cook a pound of extra lean ground beef, add taco seasoning and a quarter cup of salsa, then mix well. Open up a couple of packages of Jumbo Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. Shred some aged cheddar into each triangle, then add a couple of spoonfuls of the hot ground beef mixture, then roll up the crescent. Bake as directed on the package.

You can also use tuna salad as a filling as well as egg salad. When you cook them and cool them, they are great little appetizers. Don't use cheese with these.

I had a dollop of cole slaw on top of my joe once and it was AMAZING! Although, your husband would have to like cole slaw.

Try some mild banana peppers (from a jar) on the side.

Add some anchovies.
