These Sloppy Joe Stuffed Rolls are a family favorite, and kid approved recipe!
Sloppy Joe Stuffed Rolls always give me such a fond childhood memory. Just knowing we were having sloppy Joes for dinner got us all excited. These rolls are crispy on the outside, and are full of sloppy joe love on the inside.
If your grocery store doesn’t carry unsliced sandwich rolls, you could just use large dinner rolls and hollow those out and place on a baking sheet and bake as directed.
