Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes

A Sloppy Joe is made up of ground meat (typically beef or pork) that’s been cooked with onions and bell peppers in a tomato based sauce, seasoned with Worcestershire sauce and other spices then served on a hamburger bun. The sauce should be nice and loose and not cooked down too much so it is at it’s most supreme sauciness. Sloppy Joes are fast and easy to make and make a great weeknight meal. It’s a sandwich recipe that is easily doubled (or more) for larger gatherings, potlucks, and cookouts. Just make sure to have plenty of napkins around!
