You know I am a big believer in recipes that use seasoning envelopes, but this Sloppy Joe recipe is one of those that is just better from scratch. Kickin’ Sloppy Joes are just that–the flavor we love with a little added kick. Like just about every other recipe I’ve shared, they’re easy to make. This recipe is also one of the 23 in my Crock Pot e-cookbook! Here’s what you need:
