Simple Sloppy Joes with Beans

We must confess … we love sloppy joes. Lot’s of beef with very little bun and served with a big side of pickles.

Just about everyone loves a good sloppy joe, and this recipe makes old joe a little healthier with the addition of kidney beans.

Beans add extra nutrition and fiber to this sloppy joe recipe and gives a taste similar to a warm bowl of chili. So heap some sloppy joe meat on your bun and grab a handful of napkins. Enjoy!

Beans should be Included in Your Healthy Diet –

It’s a good idea to include more beans in your healthy diet! They are filled with fiber and good for your digestive system. Plus, this is a low-cost dinner to put on the table. When we added a side of freshly sliced strawberries and cantaloupe, dinner cost was about $12.00 for 4 people.
