Doesn’t look or sound particularly appetising does it? Akin to something you may see served up in a school canteen I can assure you that this tastes nothing like it!
‘Sloppy Joes’ are a traditional American dish made with ground beef, onions and the best part…… Ketchup!! By switching to a reduced sugar and salt version we can reduce the calories whilst still getting the same great taste.
