Although a little messy, sloppy joes are a fabulous game day food! As amazing as sloppy joes are, they get even better when you combine them with the flavours of jalapeno poppers! This recipe starts out with basic sloppy joes with the addition of jalapenos, cream cheese and cheddar cheese! I often like to make bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers and so I add bacon to the sloppy joes. Jalapeno poppers are often coated with crispy breadcrumbs and you can fill the sandwiches with crumbled tortilla chips! Any way you serve these jalapeno popper sloppy joes they are the perfect game day food, or busy weeknight meal!

This looks outstanding. Similar to some jalapeno-bourbon mini-burgers. I think we will do this and maybe add
a little bourbon to the mix.

Fixed your Jalapeño Popper Sloppy Joes for tonight’s dinner and was a hit – although milder than expected. You never know about those jalapeños! Son made 2 comments: A- could eat this every week! and, B- how about L/Os for breakfast tacos in the morning? Works for me!
