Chili Cheese Sloppy Joes is my recipe of the day, which I am sharing because it is something I like to eat in the autumn. When Halloween comes rolling around, I often have fond memories of years past with Trick or Treat fun on Beggar’s Night. And some family favorites for things to eat that day have often been sloppy joes, pizza, chili or burgers.

So this fun food combines two of those favorites.
It’s always fun to have things kids like to eat that night. Plus the warm spicy flavors will take the chill out of our bones after traipsing through the neighborhood collecting treats.
I am looking forward to Halloween this year after no one came by last year. I don’t have kids to take out for the goods. But I do like seeing them come to the door. And hopefully everything will be copacetic with the covid and all that with vaccines going around.
