Sloppy Moms

Christmas Carol's Note:

This sandwich is from one of my favorite cookbooks "Great Foods From Mom's Diner." It's a unique variation on the Sloppy Joe, so if you're bored with the same old sandwiches give this one a try! Since "Mom" owns the diner, she added a few unlikely (but delicious) ingredients and cleverly re-named it of course!

This is so easy - I took the recipe with me when we booked self-catering accommodation on a holiday and knew I would only want to cook the quickest meals possible. It was delicious... I had to substitute crushed chillies for the pepper flakes and I made it pretty spicy to suit adult tastes. This spiciness combined with the peanut butter was an excellent and interesting combination. Thanks for sharing this unique recipe!

I made this for 4 kids..had a bit more ground beef than the recipe calls and found it getting a little dry, I added a tin of chopped tomatoes which worked fine. Thanks for sharing.
