Treat your ingredients with care...
- Rye bread — Choose a dense and flavorful rye bread for the best results. If you prefer a lighter option, you can use whole wheat bread instead.
- Coleslaw — Feel free to add shredded carrots or thinly sliced red cabbage to the coleslaw for extra color and crunch.
Tips & Tricks
- For a tangier coleslaw, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing.
- If you prefer warm sandwiches, you can lightly toast the rye bread before assembling the Sloppy Joes.
- Customize your Sloppy Joe by adding pickles, sliced tomatoes, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick.

Presentation advice
