Cuban “Picadillo” Sloppy Joe!
Popular in Cuba, as well as the Philippines and Puerto Rico, Picadillos are similar to a beef hash or a Sloppy Joe, with chopped beef, tomatoes and other assorted regional ingredients. Raisins add a sweet note against the saltiness of Nations Best® Corned Brisket. This works well with Nations Best® Pastrami, Corned Beef or Turkey, too. Serve with traditional black beans and fluffy rice, or in a taco or on a bun.
