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.

Serving advice

Serve the New Jersey Sloppy Joe chilled for the best flavor and texture. Cut each sandwich into halves and serve with a side of potato chips or a crisp green salad.

Presentation advice

To make the New Jersey Sloppy Joe visually appealing, cut the sandwiches diagonally and arrange them on a platter. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or a pickle spear for an added touch.
