- Serve the creamy chicken alfredo sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom bun and add a slice of cheese (if using). Enjoy!
Notes
Serving Size: If you want to serve bigger sloppy joes with more filling in each one, count on getting about 4 sloppy joes from the recipe. The nutrition information is just for the sloppy Joe mixture and does not include the cheese or bun as that will vary. Parmesan Cheese: I prefer buying a wedge of parmesan cheese and shredding it, but you can use the shelf-stable grated parmesan cheese (it's saltier so maybe use unsalted butter) or buy some refrigerated shredded/grated parmesan cheese. Fresh wedge parmesan cheese will melt smoother.
