Sloppy Joe’s… or Something Else?

Sure, the title says Sloppy Joe’s—and they’re good. But the truth? This five-ingredient beef filling is a chameleon. Spoon it into a bun for classic Joes, toss it with pasta, wrap it in lettuce, or even pile it on nachos with melted cheese. One recipe, endless directions.
