Place sauce in the fridge for at least 30 minutes while making the sloppy joe mixture. 

What are the key steps in making these skinny joe’s so tasty delicious?

1. Prepare the Skinny Big Mac Sauce first! This allows the flavors to come together. 
2. Toast the buns-toasting the buns really helps with the texture and helps to not make the buns soggy with the meat mixture. 
3. Have napkins ready! These Big Mac Sloppy Joes can get a bit messy- be sure to have napkins with you or eat with a fork for less mess!

How do I make these Big Mac Sloppy Joes?

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay the hamburger buns in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake until the buns are lightly toasted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven. Set aside. I recommend only heating the amount of buns you’re planning on serving immediately.

Meanwhile, spray a large skillet with non stick cooking spray. Cook ground beef over medium-high heat. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Crumble beef as it cooks.

Once the ground beef is fully cooked drain the grease from the pan and reduce the heat to medium.

Add the diced pickles, diced onions,  Velveeta shreds, and 1/2 cup Skinny Big Mac sauce into the ground beef mixture in the skillet ( you’ll have leftovers of the sauce that can be used for serving.)

Cook and stir for a minute or until ingredients are heated and cheese has melted. Remove from heat. 

Assemble Sloppy Joes by adding a tablespoon of Skinny Big Mac Sauce to the bottom of bun, if desired.

Top with shredded lettuce and a slice of velveeta cheese over the lettuce.

Spoon 1/2 cup Big Mac Sloppy Joe mixture on top.

Add a few pickles and/or additional sauce if desired.

Then add the top bun to finish things off.

Additional Ingredients:
