Are you a buffalo chicken fan? You also need to try this Buffalo Chicken Pasta and this Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese.

I think that sloppy joes are one of those foods that (most) everyone loves, but few are willing to admit it. Maybe it’s because they are far from sophisticated or gourmet. Good thing I’m not really sophisticated or gourmet, because I’ll gladly admit that I love sloppy joes! I’m all about the simple anyway – especially when it comes to weeknight dinners!

Another thing I love are buffalo wings. So when I saw this recipe that combines sloppy joes and buffalo wings, I knew I had to try it. This isn’t the first time I’ve tried a twist on the sloppy joe – and they all come from the woman we all either love or hate – Rachael Ray. And I have to say, this one is another winner!! But really, can you go wrong when you combine sloppy joes and buffalo wings? Of course, one of my favorite parts is the blue cheese on top, but this is super simple to leave off for the kids, as well.

And to go along side the joes are a twist on potato skins – but a little healthier. Both were delicious and made for a wonderful weeknight dinner. (UPDATE: You can find the Mashed Potato Skin Recipe here.)

Next time you are looking for something to please both kids and adults alike, give these a try!
