When our kids were teenagers, I'd often double this recipe just in case their friends stopped by for dinner unannounced. Leftovers can be reheated and are just as good the second time around. - Beverly Bahlow, Gray, Tennessee

Tips:

Use a slow cooker for easy prep. Simply brown the meat, add it to the slow cooker, and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Make a vegetarian version by using crumbled tofu or tempeh instead of ground beef.
Add in some chopped bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
Serve sloppy joes on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, pickles, and onions.
For a healthier version, use whole-wheat buns and lean ground beef.
Make a big batch of sloppy joes and freeze them for later. They're perfect for a quick and easy meal on busy weeknights.
