Tips:

  • Brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is cooked through and no longer pink. This will help to develop the flavor of the beef.
  • Drain the excess grease from the ground beef before adding the remaining ingredients. This will help to prevent the sloppy joes from being too greasy.
  • Use a variety of ketchup brands and flavors to create your own unique sloppy joe sauce. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Simmer the sloppy joe mixture for at least 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have had a chance to meld together.
  • Serve the sloppy joes on toasted buns or slider rolls. You can also top them with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, onions, or pickles.
