NM Sloppy Joes
The classic Sloppy Joe is getting a makeover! These Green Chile Sloppy Joes taste similar to the ones you had growing up, but they feature spicy New Mexican Green Chile and Bloody Maria Mix for a tasty upgrade!
Cooking the meat for sloppy joes in the slow cooker makes for the most delicious, tender, and seasoned beef filling. The ingredients and flavors have so much time to meld making for an intensified delicious flavor.
