BBQ Pork Sloppy Joes
Alright, folks! Today I'm gonna share with you my twist on the classic BBQ Pork Sloppy Joes. Trust me, you're gonna love this hearty and flavorful dish! Let's start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees. While that's warming up, here's a fun fact: once I mistook sugar for salt in a recipe like this – let's just say it wasn't my finest culinary moment! Now, grab those potatoes, red onions, garlic, and lime. Slice up the sweet potatoes into wedges and toss them in oil, salt, and pepper. Pop them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until they're nice and crispy. While the potatoes are roasting, cook up the pork with BBQ sauce, hot sauce, and ketchup. Here's a tip for you – a splash of Worcestershire sauce can really take the flavor up a notch! Assemble your sloppy joes on some soft buns, top with the BBQ pork mixture, and enjoy the delicious messiness. And remember, cooking should be fun, so don't stress about getting a little messy in the kitchen!

Meanwhile, halve and peel onion. Slice as thinly as possible until you have ¼ cup (½ cup for 4 servings); finely chop remaining onion. Peel and finely chop garlic. Halve lime; squeeze juice into a small bowl. Halve buns. Add 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) to a separate small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds. Brush onto cut sides of buns.

While pork cooks, in a third small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, pickling liquid from onion, 3 TBSP ketchup (6 TBSP for 4 servings), ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4). Once pork is cooked through, add BBQ sauce mixture to pan. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
