Baked Potato Sloppy Joe is such an easy recipe that makes for a good weeknight recipe. Baked potatoes do take some time to bake, but you can just toss them in and leave them for the entire time. We like to serve salad or broccoli as a side to lighten up the meal a bit. I also leave the sloppy joe meat saucy so it can soak into the potato. We made this to be compliant with our diet, but you could add cheese to the top.
