When I think of American food I think of hamburgers, hot dogs and thick cheesy pizza. These are the three main foods that are served at American diners here in Sweden, so it wasn’t until quite recently when I started looking into what other foods USA had to offer that I discovered sloppy joes and all I can say is wow…!
I absolutely love the concept of this kind of comfort food and decided to make this meat-free quick version (since the traditional ones take several hours to cook and I just couldn’t wait that long!), it was super tasty and has become somewhat of a favorite on weekdays.
I can’t wait to discover more American foods like this, and would love to get some tips from you guys on other foods I should try out!
