For those of you that LOVE sloppy joes and love pizza, I have the perfect dinner solution….. Sloppy Joe Pizza!
Ever since I learned to make homemade pizza, I am always looking for new topping ideas. A couple weeks ago I was craving sloppy joes. I had ground beef and a can of Manwich but I had no buns. I contiplated making my own bread to make buns and then thought that sloppy joe mix would probably taste great on some pizza dough.
The Sloppy Joe Pizza was a hit at my house. My kids might think I am nuts sometimes but I bet they enjoy my creative meals I sometimes come up with.
Want to try it yourself? Here is my recipe that I used which includes directions on making your own pizza dough!
