Potluck Sloppy Joes
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Cook: 15 min.
YIELD: 12 servings.
For a change of pace, Rick suggests swapping out the green pepper in these tasty sloppy joes for an Anaheim, if available. Long and lighter green in color than a bell pepper, Anaheim peppers have just a hint of a bite. —Rick Bolte, Montclair, California
