Spooky Sloppy Joes
"These sloppy joes can be decorated on the bun with olives and cheese to make a monster face, or with olives and bell pepper strips to look like spiders, or (what I do) cheese slices cut to look like a Jack 'O Lantern face. This one is ALL about your imagination when it comes to decorating them. One friend "drew" a ghostly hand with colored ketchup on the top of her and another cut ghosts out of mozzerella cheese. Let your imagination run wild."

I love sloppy joes and always enjoy trying new recipes. I liked the addition of the chili sauce and Worcestershire, gives it a nice tang, and the orange pepper gives it a little crunch and color. Made for Spring 2011 Pick A Chef.
