Reindeer Sloppy Joe Sliders
Most kids love Sloppy Joes and this has always been my boys favorite recipe. These Reindeer Sliders are sure to be a huge hit at your next family Christmas gathering! Let’s not forget to mention that my boys were quite bothered when they noticed that we left out two reindeer…Donder and Blitzen! SO…make sure to add the 2 missing reindeer when making this fun Christmas idea! 🙂

Hi! Love these – planning on making them for a christmas party saturday night. 1 question – how did you get the cheese to stick for the eyes? toothpicks there as well? Im nervous it will break the cheese, but without it wont stick. Thank you!
