Three Alarm Sloppy Joe

I know, I know. What no meat? This should be called Three Alarm Bean Sandwich not Sloppy Joe. I thought the same thing. I was thinking it was a typo, but this is what the recipe said so we were willing to go for it. Man are we glad we did!

This was surprisingly yummy! It had a nice kick and great flavor and the "easy-to-prepare" factor made it taste even better. We actually really enjoyed this one and will do it again. I really didn't miss the meat all that much and you could probably add it in there if you really needed it. Because you are using canned baked bean, you can try this with any flavor of baked beans you want. We are excited to try some of the nifty new flavors of baked beans they have out there! We are also thinking of adding some additional veggies to it, like celery or onion.

We will do again, much to our surprise!
