Notes

STORE leftover sloppy joe meat in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Reheating is as easy as microwaving the meat in bursts, or warming the mixture in a skillet on the stovetop until heated through.
FREEZE leftover slopThaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a slow cooker or stovetop.
