Sloppy Joe slop sloppy joe.  Loved that skit with Chris Farley and Adam Sandler when Saturday Night Live was actually funny, now it sucks.  But that song still lives on and gave the Sloppy Joe a resurrection in popularity, but maybe not taste.  This is where we come in, to tell you about a Buffalized version of this cafeteria favorite.

Soooo we decided to bust this favorite out, we found one on the internet, but it needed some fine tuning GameDayEats style.  We couldn’t let you eat what we found, just wouldn’t have been right.

NOTE: Using our hot sauce kicks this up a few notches on the heat scale, if that’s the kind of thing your into.
