THE BEST SLOPPY JOES



The Best Sloppy Joes image

This is weeknight comfort food at its finest. We created a homemade sauce that is tangy and flavorful but also quick and easy. We used both ketchup and canned tomato sauce for lots of tomato-y zip and just a touch of brown sugar for a bit of sweetness and slight caramel finish. Green bell pepper is a key addition; it really enhances the other ingredients, elevating the flavor profile into the realm of a true sloppy joe.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ground beef: The better the quality of the beef, the better your sloppy does will taste. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Brown the beef thoroughly: This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from being greasy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the beef will not brown evenly and will be more likely to steam instead of fry.
  • Season the beef liberally: Sloppy does are a great opportunity to use up your favorite seasonings. Try a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Use a sweet and tangy sauce: The sauce is what really makes sloppy does special. Look for a sauce that is made with a combination of ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar.
  • Simmer the sloppy does for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and will help to thicken the sauce.
  • Serve the sloppy does on toasted buns: Toasted buns will help to absorb the sauce and will make the sloppy does easier to eat.

Conclusion:

Sloppy does are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give sloppy does a try. You won't be disappointed.
