Christina's Notes

  • Hot Sauce: Try putting a little hot sauce and some jalapeno peppers into the wimpies for a spicy twist.
  • Vegetables: If you have a hard time getting your kids to eat their veggies, try sneaking in some finely chopped vegetables to your sloppy joes. They will never know!
  • Rice: If you are gluten free, serve over rice, rice cauliflower or even mashed potatoes to make a hearty meal.
