Easy 5-Ingredient Sloppy Joes

Your family is sure to love these easy 5-ingredient Sloppy Joes!

 

  Growing up we never, EVER ate Sloppy Joes because my mom didn’t like them which lead me to believe that they weren’t good. Then I got married and my mother-in-law started making them for me which made me realize what I’d been missing all those years. I’ve never had the canned version, but I can imagine homemade is much better. I know our whole family loves this recipe and I love it too because it’s fast and easy.

 

  I normally purchase the bulk pack of ground beef and then cook it all at once using this method to stretch it and save money. I love doing this because then I can pre-portion the cooked beef out and either freeze it for later or keep it in the fridge for any recipes that I’m making during the week. Having the beef already cooked makes these Sloppy Joes a super quick meal.

    I'm Australian and have never before heard of Sloppy Joes. Sounds pretty good but does seem to lack any vegetables. I find quite a few American food/cooking terms either unfamiliar or plain amusing. Enjoy your blog.

      Hi Pam, I'm not sure where the name for Sloppy Joes came from, but it is kind of odd. You could always add pureed veggies or diced tomatoes to pump up the veggies in the dish.

      Usually these are served with a garden salad, french fries, potato chips and of course a bun. There is also a Spanish Hamburger in this vein. Very easy, very satisfying. Great for get together 's, kids parties, social gathering makes this simple, easy and delicious.

    Good if you want the main taste to be mustard. I made it with only 1 tablespoon of mustard and it comes out with a nice tangy, sweet flavor instead.
