4. Sausage Sloppy Joes
To be honest, I had never considered making sloppy Joes with sausage until I came across this recipe (or something similar) a few years ago.
The sauce, which you’ll make from tomato, Worcestershire, and chili sauces, as well as brown sugar, has the same great flavor as conventional sloppy Joes.
