How to Make Sloppy Joes Sliders

To make these mouth-watering Kings Hawaiian Sloppy Joes Sliders, start by browning the ground beef, onions, and bell pepper over medium heat in a cast iron skillet. Drain the excess grease and return the skillet to the stove.

Turn the heat to low and add garlic powder, brown sugar, mustard, ketchup, salt & pepper to the beef mixture. Stir in the ingredients so they get nicely incorporated. Let the homemade Sloppy Joe mixture to simmer for 5 minutes.

Transfer the Sloppy Joe mixture to a bowl. Leaving a little bit of the mixture in the pan. This will make the Sloppy Joes extra sloppy!

Prepare your rolls by cutting the “sheet” of rolls in half, horizontally with a serrated bread knife. Do not pull the rolls apart. Set rolls aside. 

Place the bottom half of the rolls into the cast iron skillet. Spread the Sloppy Joe Mixture over the sweet rolls. It is ok if it is falling off the sides. These are meant to be sloppy!

Place the tops of the rolls back onto the sliders. In a small bowl melt butter with dried parsley. Brush the melted butter mixture over the top of each roll.

Finally, bake in the oven at 375F for about 10 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.

The cast iron skillet will be hot. Use a spatula to get under the rolls and lift up. Pull apart the Sloppy Joe slider from the top to avoid getting burned.
