To make Loaded Sloppy Joe Potato Fingers, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into finger-sized pieces
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Next, prepare the potato fingers by cutting the potatoes into finger-sized pieces. Place them in a large bowl and toss with a tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the potato fingers out on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the sloppy joe filling. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper and cook until the vegetables are tender. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Once the potato fingers are done baking, remove them from the oven and top each one with a spoonful of the sloppy joe filling. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each potato finger.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Loaded Sloppy Joe Potato Fingers are a delicious and satisfying appetizer that will leave your guests wanting more. The crispy potato fingers provide the perfect base for the savory and slightly sweet sloppy joe filling. The melted cheddar cheese on top adds a creamy and indulgent touch. This dish is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
