This is such a comforting sandwich to eat during cozy season. A Sloppy Joe is just made of a delicious beef sauce which is sandwiched between toasted buns. The sauce is slightly sweet and savory at the same time and is just so epic! It’s filling, saucy and a top tier finger food.

I love adding some grated Parmesan cheese and fries to my Sloppy Joe but it’s entirely optional. It’s a really good way of eating it though.

If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce you can substitute it with soy sauce. I really like this Food 52 article on substitutes for Worcestershire sauce.
