Sweet ' Sloppy Joes'

This is so simple, it's not really even a recipe (although if you wanted to, you could make the buns and mincemeat from scratch). We made it with the Brownies one week and they loved it (we wanted to do cooking but we don't have a working oven), so I thought I'd post it for a fun recipe for kids to try. Show more

  1. Slice and toast the hot cross buns (or if you don't have anything at all to cook with, it's just as good cold!).

  3. Warm the mincemeat in a microwave or on a stove until it starts to bubble, then put about a tablespoon in each bun. Enjoy while warm!
