Anyone that knows me well, knows that I make the best sloppy joes ever. It's a fact. I have been cooking lunch at a school since 2004 and I made sloppy joes on the first day. I feel like I "hooked" them! Though over the years, many kids are dubious. They don't like the fact that there are little green bits (green peppers) in them. I wised up and cut them up VERY small. Anyway, this is going way off on a tangent! I saw this recipe for Sloppy Ottos, which is a different version. It involves sausage and sauerkraut and the pretzel bun, which is the new thing. I have to say, they were really good and my Dad approved.

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 20 mins
  • Yields: 8 Servings

Ingredients

1 pound bulk spicy pork sausage

1½ cups sauerkraut, rinsed and well drained

2 medium green and/or sweet yellow peppers, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

8 pretzel or regular hamburger buns, split

8 slices provolone cheese

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles; drain. Add sauerkraut, peppers, and onion; cook and stir 8-10 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender.

2Spoon meat mixture onto bun bottoms; place cheese over meat. Replace tops. Place on a baking sheet. Bake 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted.
