Miniature Sloppy Joe Sandwiches

White Castle's Focusing on Comfort Food with Its Sloppy Joe Slider

— January 5, 2019 — Lifestyle
If the winter weather has got your feeling blue, you can warm up with White Castle's new Sloppy Joe Slider.

White Castle's new Sloppy Joe Slider is part of the chain's new Comfort Cravings menu, which is designed to help consumers stay warm and cozy this winter. The saucy sandwich consists of 100 percent lean ground beef strewed in a sweet and savory mixture of onions, tomatoes, and bell peppers. The meat and veggie mixture is then topped with a slice of smoked cheddar cheese and served on one of the chain's signature slider buns.

If a soppy joe isn't your idea of comfort food, the chain is also brining back its popular Mac And Cheese Nibblers, which consist of cheesy macaroni noodles coated in a crispy-fried cheese batter.
