These Sloppy Joe Sliders are a great, easy dinner everyone loves. 

These Sloppy Joe Sliders are such a delicious and easy weeknight dinner.  Flavorful sloppy joe mix is piled on soft sliders buns with cheddar cheese.  These get baked in the oven until the cheese is nice and melty.  Always a crowd pleaser.

There is nothing I love more an easy dinner that comes together in minutes and that everyone will eat.  With picky eaters I need all the easy dinners I can find.

These sliders are one of my easy go-to dinners that I can just whip together quickly and I know everyone will enjoy.  Just a few ingredients and a couple minutes and I have a delicious dinner or lunch for everyone. These are also great for parties and get-togethers.  They make a great appetizer, lunch or dinner.  These are always a crowd-pleaser.

These sloppy sliders are perfect all year round. The beef cooks up with peppers and onions and mixed with a delicious sloppy joe sauce. I love that you can customize this to your family’s taste, make it spicy, add your favorite seasonings, change out the cheese, you can totally make this recipe your own. The sloppy joe filling is piled on soft slider buns with cheddar cheese and gets topped with butter and sesame seeds and baked until everything is golden and the cheese is melty. 

Can we also take a minute to talk about how budget-friendly this dinner is?  Everyone is feeling the pinch with the grocery bill right now and you can’t get much cheaper than ground beef and a few other ingredients.  So this is a great dinner when you are trying to save a few pennies.

Next time you want a family-friendly dinner even the pickiest kids pop these sliders in the oven and dinner will be ready in no time!

I promise your whole family will love these Sloppy Joe Sliders.
