A little bit spicy and packed with flavor, these Buffalo Sloppy Joes are a great dinner idea for wing lovers!
I think that sloppy joes are one of those foods that (most) everyone loves, but few are willing to admit it. Maybe it’s because they are far from sophisticated or gourmet. Good thing I’m not really sophisticated or gourmet, because I’ll gladly admit that I love sloppy joes! I’m all about the simple anyway – especially when it comes to weeknight dinners!
Another thing I love are buffalo wings. So when I saw this recipe that combines sloppy joes and buffalo wings, I knew I had to try it. This isn’t the first time I’ve tried a twist on the sloppy joe – and they all come from the woman we all either love or hate – Rachael Ray. And I have to say, this one is another winner!! But really, can you go wrong when you combine sloppy joes and buffalo wings? Of course, one of my favorite parts is the blue cheese on top, but this is super simple to leave off for the kids, as well.
And to go along side the joes are a twist on potato skins – but a little healthier. Both were delicious and made for a wonderful weeknight dinner. (UPDATE: You can find the Mashed Potato Skin Recipe here.)
Next time you are looking for something to please both kids and adults alike, give these a try!

Description
A little bit spicy and packed with flavor, these Buffalo Sloppy Joes are a great dinner idea for wing lovers!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds ground chicken
- 1 carrot, peeled and chopped or grated
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s Red Hot)
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 8 hamburger buns, split and toasted
- 1 cup blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Add the carrot, celery and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, 7-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Meanwhile, combine the red wine vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, tomato sauce and chicken stock in a small bowl and whisk to combine. When the vegetables are tender, pour the sauce in and stir to combine. Cook an additional minute or two, until the mixture is thickened.
Serve the chicken mixture on top of the toasted buns. Top with crumbled blue cheese.

For the sloppy joes, do you think there is a way to turn them into a crockpot recipe?

These look yummy! I’m sooo not gourmet (as you know!!) but really, I’m not a big fan of sloppy joes. So maybe if I try a different take on sloppy joes I’ll admit to liking them! If I ever call you asking what I should make for dinner–remind me of these 🙂
