Footnotes
Twist 1: For burger-appeal, jazz-up Sloppy Joes with additional toppings such as shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, grated cheese, sour cream or ranch dressing.

Twist 2: For a meat variation, use lean ground chicken or pork instead of beef.

Twist 3: For a veggie boosted Joe, stir in 1 cup each shredded carrot and chopped mushrooms.

Twist 4: For a high fiber alternative, try whole-wheat pitas or rolls instead of sandwich buns and add pinto beans.

Twist 5: For a chunkier Joe, use chopped tomatoes.

Twist 6: For a smokey-flavored Joe, use Jim’s Own Smokey
