Pizza Sloppy Joes Recipe

Chicken Legs is a big fan of Sloppy Joes. He absolutely loves them. I don’t make them often enough for him since I’m not a huge fan. Well, I am a huge fan of these Pizza Sloppy Joes! They were SO good. Hamburger or Sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms simmered in pizza sauce. You could even add onions, peppers and olives to the meat mixture. We used slider buns and topped them with some mozzarella cheese. I was happy because they tasted like pizza and Chicken Legs was excited to have one of his favorite meals!
