Easy One-Pot Sloppy Joe Pasta Recipe

I love sloppy joe as much as I love pasta and sometimes I just can’t choose between the two, so either I make both of them the same day, or I make this fusion recipe by Amanda’s Cookin’ & Crafts on YouTube. this dish has the perfect balance of both dishes and it’s so comforting that you just won’t be able to stop at one serving, you might even want to keep everything to yourself.

But, of course, since this is a pretty large portion, you can share it with your family or friends for dinner, or if you want to feed more people, then feel free to double the ingredients as needed. You can also add more cheese or use the kind of cheese that you prefer for this dish as much as you want. For now, learn the steps to making this one-pot goodness by reading the instructions below.
