Let’s make Microwave Sloppy Joes! This is a quick and effortless way to satisfy your cravings for this classic, messy, and flavorful dish. With simple steps and minimal effort, you can have a hearty and satisfying meal ready to devour for 1 to 2 people.
These sloppy joes use Rotel tomatoes, which have green chiles and are a little on the spicy side. If you want something less spicy, I recommend using plain diced tomatoes instead of Rotel.
