GF Sloppy Joe Pie

By Cindy H.


This gluten-free Sloppy Joe Pie is comfort food with a creative twist. Inspired by Shepherd’s Pie and Tamale Pie, this version uses Italian seasonings and a flour crust to hold everything together into one hearty, crowd-feeding dish.


Cindy made a large batch in a roasting pan from Gleaners to feed her senior community, but the recipe can easily be halved or quartered for smaller households. Like many Gleaners recipes, it’s flexible and built around using what you have on hand.
