Sloppy Joes has never been my favorite, but I always thought it had potential.
So when I saw Ms. Drummond making this, I got the inspiration to give Italia flavors to my sloppy joes as well.
My trusted canned tomatoes from Trader Joe’s.
Doesn’t this look awesome or what!?
I made garlic bread for my sloppy joes just as Ms. Drummond did for hers.
I think one of the biggest reasons I do not care for regular sloppy joes is the bun.
I feel it’s too soft for this sandwich.
So this crusty garlic bread was perfect!
Oh, and did I say it’s vegan?
