Pumpkin Sloppy Joes By Kelly Miller • September8,2016 • Updated March 13, 2020 • Leave a Comment 550 Jump to Recipe This simple stove top recipe for Pumpkin Sloppy Joes is perfect for busy fall weeknights this season! Ground beef, pumpkin puree, salsa, and seasonings make this a family winner dinner for sure! I know when we usually think of pumpkin as an ingredient, sweet cinnamon fall flavors come to mind: pumpkin pie, pumpkin pudding, pumpkin cheesecake. And of course, the Pinterest famous Pumpkin Spice Latte. All sweet and ALL good if you ask me! But pumpkin isn’t just good for sweet autumn inspired desserts! If you haven’t tried pumpkin in a savory dish, you’re going to have to just trust me on this one. Pumpkin brings a creamy texture to dinners and naturally thickens soups, stews, and chilis without adding fat. And the flavor just pops, especially with taco seasonings! Is there an easier weeknight dinner than sloppy joes?? I think not! I keep our favorite sloppy joe recipe in our regular dinner rotation and for the fall, I’ll definitely be swapping that out for these delish Pumpkin Sloppy Joes. I served ours with sweet potato fries and sliced cheddar cheese to go with the festive orange theme! The boys were REALLY excited to try these sandwiches and they absolutely loved them. A messy, sloppy dinner is always delicious in their book – and I have to admit, I think I agree. I’m actually planning on serving these yummy sloppy joes on Halloween before we go trick or treating – I’m already excited! If you liked this recipe, leave a rating and a comment below this post!
