Smokey Sloppy Joes

It's another sandwich day! This time it's a hot sandwich filling that's a little messy but oh so good. Forget the stuff in a can. Forget the sodium bomb packets of seasoning. This sandwich is best made with fresh ingredients! These Smokey Sloppy Joes takes ground beef, onions, and bell peppers mixed in a tangy, slightly smokey sauce, served up in a toasted bun for a finger licking good sandwich...

It's been ages since I had a sloppy joe sandwich. But thanks to The Baron, he came up with this dinner idea not too long ago. Having made these, I wondered why I haven't made them more often... they're so good and gave me fond memories of my grade school years lol. To jazz a great recipe up ever so slightly, I added a touch of liquid smoke which worked very well. And to make this sandwich even better, I used Turano Baking Company's Gourmet Rolls.

    Liquid smoke! I was wondering if you were going to use chipotle to smoke these babies up.
