- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 2 cups, shredded green cabbage
- 1 medium, grated carrot
- 0.25 thinly sliced red onion
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, tomato paste, and ketchup.
Add Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
While the sloppy joe filling cooks, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
Spoon a generous amount of the sloppy joe mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top with a scoop of coleslaw and place the top bun over it.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
