Comments: We liked Rachael Ray's buffalo chicken chili so much that we searched for a similar sloppy joe recipe to serve at our super bowl party. Lo and behold, it was right there in her online recipe archives. Once again, the flavor was outrageous! We complemented this healthy dish with sweet potato fries, green salad, and Heather's cowboy caviar for a spectacular guilt-free menu!
