Most kids love sloppy joes. Mine are no exception, but I got tired of the mess a 6 year old can make with such a thing. I made a few alterations to the recipe and life is much easier.
I start out with browned, drained ground beef, a can of sloppy joe sauce, and a little (2-3 tbsp)barbecue sauce. While all this is simmering I mix up a batch of cornbread (a box mix works just as well). Cook the cornbread in your waffle iron and serve the sloppy joes on top of the cornbread waffles, sprinkled with cheese. Eat these sloppy joes with a fork and they don't end up every where.
My waffle iron makes waffle sticks. The kids like to dip the sticks into the sloppy joes, too. Anything is easier than trying to eat them on a bun!
This time of year I don't get really creative with my side dishes. I will serve my standard garden goodies, but these go well with fries or tater tots. Enjoy!
