Korean BBQ Beef Sammies

This is the closest I will ever come to a sloppy Joe. Sweet, spicy flavors with a hint of your favorite BBQ sauce all piled high on a buttery bun. A fun twist on a summer classic.

I have had a serious phobia of ketchup since I was a small child. This has led me to a serious dislike of traditional sloppy joes. Like I said above, this recipe is the closest I will EVER come to a traditional sloppy Joe.

This is such an easy, weeknight dinner. The process takes about 15-20 minutes. This is a cheater version of Korean beef bulgogi.
