These gluten free Sloppy Joes are THE best easy weeknight meal, we had them a few nights in a row and even after a few days they still got a 10/10!  I used to have Sloppy Joes all the time growing up, but never bothered to make them much as an adult. The cans of “sauce” were loaded with preservatives and ingredients I couldn’t pronounce, so I had to make a change!

These Sloppy Joes are just as simple to make as using canned sauce… seriously!  All you have to do is add in a few vegetables as you brown the meat, and add a few pantry staple spices and tomatoes to make a delicious sauce. Add to a gluten free bun. Everything is simple and it seriously takes SO good.
