I am going to be completely transparent here.
I found this recipe or one similar on TikTok and I think it was a “Retro” meal of sorts, that got some smack talk in the comments but it turned out so good.
The meat mixture was one very similar to a sloppy joe mix, and we ended up with a lot of leftover meat from it. So what does that mean? Time to bake up some hamburger buns and I will be able to send leftovers to my Dad for the week. I call that a win-win!
Not to mention there is some weird comfort I find in meals with a Vintage Vibe to them. I hope you enjoy this meal too!

Simple salad was made by whisking olive oil, white wine vinegar, and salt and pepper, and then adding a arugula mix and shredded mozz. Toss well to combine!
