Sloppy Joes Recipe
I could have put this sloppy joes recipe up before this but for some reason I didn’t. I happen to like sloppy joes quite a bit and have them a couple of times per month and last week when I had them I remembered I hadn’t put this recipe up yet. This recipe for sloppy joes is so easy a 10 year old could do it.
Is this a good recipe. I think so, most of my family thinks so and most importantly my girlfriends granddaughter thinks so. 
She thinks they taste like the sloppy joes she eats at school. I( didn’t take that as a compliment because school food was really bad when I was young. However after she ate 4 of them I got the hint she liked them. Funny but she seems to think my sloppy joes taste a lot like Manwich. I don’t and I don’t like Manwich either. Mine are much better.
What do you need for this sloppy joes recipe?
- 2# ground beef
- 1 can Campbells Tomato soup
- 1 can Campbells Vegetable beef soup
- 1 medium onion
- 1/2 cup catsup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 medium onion
- salt and pepper to taste
- water
Cooking instructions
Dice the onion and start browning it. Add the ground beef and brown it. While it and the onion are browning chop up the ground beef with your spatula. Chop it up so it’s all about the size of peas or a little larger. Not as small as BBs tho. Salt and pepper the ground beef and onion to your taste.
After the ground beef and onion is browned add the can of tomato soup and the can of vegetabe beef soup. Add the catsup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce and stir it so it all mixes well together. Add at least 1/2 can water to the mixture and stir it well again to get the water mixed in completely.
This sloppy joe recipe needs to simmer for about 30 minutes to get the flavors spread through. If it’s pretty thick add enough water to thin it out but don’t add so much it gets runny. You want it to be thick enough for the juice to stay on the bun and not soak in like soup.
After simmering for 30 minutes, when it’s thick enough, it’s done. In general I eat my sloppy joes with baked beans, potato chips and a pickle if I happen to have one. They’re really good on whole wheat buns. Another tip, be sure you butter the buns. It makes a difference you won’t believe until you try buttered and unbuttered buns. Then you’ll understand.
If you like your sloppy joes a little sweeter you can add a little brown sugar or you can add more catsup. If you want them a little tangier add more mustard or more Worcestershire sauce, or both.
This easy ground beef sloppy joes recipe will make approximately 10 sandwiches or less. Enjoy
