If you want to see all the previous sloppy joes we’ve shared on the blog you can find them all here. We’ve been having such a good time with them (and I think I’m singlehandedly keeping my local baker busy baking brioche buns for me).We were at Trader Joe’s a few months ago and saw they’d paired up their pub cheese with bacon in the cheese/meat aisle. I was holding a pound of ground beef in my hands when I saw it. This dish was such a natural fit I had a full on lightbulb moment. One quick text later inquiring if we had beer, I was ready to make these sloppy joes.Like ThisLike this recipe?

But these are geared to a more adult crowd so I skipped the veggies.If you would like to add vegetables into the recipe I’d recommend:Basically any vegetable that won’t add any additional sweetness that you can soften and brown in the bacon fat.
