Tips:
- Use a variety of ground meats. This recipe calls for ground beef, but you can also use ground turkey, chicken, or pork. You can even use a mix of different meats.
- Don't overcook the meat. The meat should be cooked through, but it should not be dry. Overcooked meat will make your sloppy joes tough.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what makes sloppy joes so delicious. Be sure to use a sauce that you love the taste of.
- Add some vegetables. Vegetables will add flavor and nutrition to your sloppy joes. You can add chopped onions, bell peppers, carrots, or celery.
- Serve sloppy joes on sturdy buns. Sloppy joes are a messy sandwich, so you'll need a bun that can hold up to all the sauce and meat.
