Hey darlin'! :) Made these tonight for the Recipe Swap. You know the packaged stuff isn't my usual fare, so it was a bit out of the ordinary for me. :) I couldn't find a rice AND pasta package, so I just used a Mexican rice one. And, since you said we could use our own taco seasoning, I did...hehehe....and, I used ground venison cus I didn't think that would change the results enough to not be able to review it! Everyone enjoyed them, and the kids thought they tasted like a taco on a bun. :) I added sliced Muenster or PepperJack, and they were very good. And SO easy! :) I'm glad I made them, and hope the pic is okay. :)


It's an interesting twist for sloppy joes (one of my favourite foods), and I'm a big fan of mexican food, and I love rice-a-roni! Excellent recipe Laurie and daughter!


Yay Keni, I'm glad your family liked them! Neon...glad you're intrigued by my recipe. I hope you try them sometime!


I love the twist on the sloppy joes! High five for you and daughter!


Thanks Murka! And thanks for the friends request.
