What check should I look for as it cooks?

Additional recipe notes
You can cook the bacon the morning before. If short on time, bacon bits or pre-cooked bacon also work. Sweet pickles work well on Sloppy Joes, but some prefer bread and butter pickles. If you want a healthier alternative, we recommend using turkey sausage, aka Sloppy Janes. It cooks the same as any other sausage and tastes delicious.
