Quick and kid friendly meals are always a good thing in my household. My kids are pretty good eaters (on a good day), but they can get picky from time to time. When I make sloppy joe's I know that they will be enjoyed by all... adults and kids. This Chili Dog Sloppy Joe is such a fun play on the idea of eating a hot dog with chili topping. It was a budget friendly meal that we rounded out with a salad. You can also eat it with potato salad, french fries or chips.

Kaiser or Hoagie style rolls

1lb of ground lean meat

1Tbs of paprika
1 Tbs of sriracha (if you like it spicy)
