Name: Buffalo Chicken Sloppy Joes
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 2 tbsp. unsalted butter; 1 medium yellow onion, chopped; 2 medium carrots, chopped; 3 stalks celery, chopped; 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste; 1 tsp. black pepper; 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped; 2 lb. ground chicken; 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce; 1/2 c. Buffalo sauce; 2 tbsp. honey or brown sugar; 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce; 8 hamburger buns, split; Crumbled blue cheese, for serving; Ranch dressing, for serving; Blue cheese dressing, for serving

Step 1In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the ground chicken and cook until the meat is crumbly and no longer pink.

Step 2Add the tomato sauce, Buffalo sauce, honey, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well to combine. Simmer until heated through, tasting for salt.

Step 3Serve the sloppy joe filling hot on hamburger buns with crumbled blue cheese and ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Step 4Slow cooker reheat instructions: Allow the filling to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container and storing it in the refrigerator. At least 2 hours before it’s time to eat, place the filling in a slow cooker and heat on low, stirring occasionally, until hot, 1 to 2 hours.
