Introducing CattleChannel: A New Way to CattleUSA
Since yesterday was National Sloppy Joe day, why not keep the ball rolling and share this “grown up” sloppy Joe from chef Brain Lagerstrom for today’s #BOTW? Described as “a classic sloppy Joe that grew up and got a day job, but still likes to party on the weekend” this beefy sandwich has all the flavors you want, stuffed between a golden, flaky bun.
Hungry for the recipe?
You can find it on Brian’s YouTube channel 😋🍴
