Smoky BBQ Sloppy Joe Freezer Meal

I went to a great Pampered Chef freezer meal workshop yesterday and came home with some really amazing tasting recipes!  The BBQ Sloppy Joes I made didn't even make it to the freezer!!!  We cooked that one up when I got home and it got rave reviews all around.  I believe my 6 year old's exact words were, "BEST BURGER EVERRRRR!!!!".  This has such a great smoky flavor to it!  We used Pampered Chef spices, but I would imagine you could find a like spice in the grocery store.  I know Target sells their very own brand of Sloppy Joe seasoning in their spice aisle.  If you do want to try this one (& it is AMAZING) I'll put a link to the Pampered Chef catalog at the bottom.
