Sloppy Joes Recipe

Sloppy Joes is one of my go-to meals.  I’ve used several different recipes, but this is the first time I’ve used NAKANO Seasoned Rice Vinegar.   You can cook them up quickly on the stove-top or throw it all in the slow cooker and enjoy a simple meal with very little effort.  Served with fries or potato chips- sloppy joes are always a hit here.  I never use the canned mix, because it’s too easy to make them myself without it.

Because I had never used seasoned rice vinegar, I was glad they sent along a booklet featuring 30 recipes.  I adapted this Sloppy Joes recipe just a tad by adding some ketchup, but other than that, I followed the book.  It turned out delicious and I used less ingredients than my usually sloppy joe recipe.  Nakano Seasoned Rice Vinegar is a no fat, low calorie condiment but is full of flavor.
