Mango Jalapeno Sloppy Joe Sliders image

I've loved sloppy joes since I can remember. In an attempt to give them a makeover, I thought of this idea, which was a big hit with my family, friends and co-workers! If you can't find a mango, chopped pineapple should work just as well. -Shea Goldstein, Royal Palm Beach, Florida
