Stretch Your Beef Sloppy Joes Recipe
This sloppy joe recipe is super yummy and, thanks to bulgur wheat, only uses half the amount of meat as a regular recipe which makes it a lot cheaper and also more healthy.

Notes
OPTIONAL: I like to put a little of the mixture on the bun, sprinkle on some shredded cheese, and then add more sloppy joe mixture on top so it melts.
