Sloppy Stromboli Joe Sandwiches

This is my Italian twist on a Sloppy Joe. By the say, why is it Sloppy Joe? Why isn’t it Sloppy John, or Sloppy Ken, or Sloppy Tim? Why was Joe sloppy? Somebody let me know!😁

HOW TO MEAL PREP SLOPPY STROMBOLI JOE SANDWICHES

Sloppy Stromboli Joe’s are the perfect midweek dinner. They’re so indulgent and sure to please your entire family! They are ideal for meal prep. You can even freeze some of it and thaw them out whenever you’re ready. For this reason, I always make a double batch and freeze half for later.

  1. Brown your meat. Add the sauce ingredients as directed, but don’t reduce and thicken the sauce.
  2. Allow the mixture to cool. Store in an airtight container and freeze.
  3. To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop with a few tablespoons of water.
  4. Continue as directed in Step 4 of the instructions below.

Sloppy Stromboli Joe Sandwiches Tips

  1. Read through the recipe a couple of times before you begin.
  2. Have all your ingredients prepped and ready before you begin the recipe.
  3. To save fat and calories you can use ground chicken or turkey.
  4. You don’t have to bake the sandwiches, but they sure are better in my opinion if you do.

How to make Sloppy Stromboli Joe Sandwiches in the Slow Cooker

  1. In a pot over medium-high heat, brown meat and onions until mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add to slow cooker.
  2. Add ketchup, tomato sauce, oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic, and parmesan cheese to the slow cooker and stir together.
  3. Cook on high for 3 hours, or on low for 6 hours.
  4. When it’s done, turn the slow cooker off.
  5. Build your Sloppy Stromboli Joes by scooping mixture evenly on bread and continue Step 4 below.
