Notes

*Hamburger buns are not calculated in nutritional value.
To enjoy your sloppy joes, try serving them on a whole wheat bun or a lettuce wrap for a healthier option. You can also serve them over a bed of rice or quinoa to add some extra nutrition. For sides, consider pairing them with a green salad, roasted vegetables, or sweet potato fries to create a balanced and satisfying meal.
