Homemade sloppy joes are nearly as easy as using the canned sauce, but they taste oh so much better! Kids and adults both love this sloppy joe recipe with my sweet and tangy sauce. Pile on some pickles and serve alongside some potato chips.
I’m a sloppy joe fanatic. I make them just about every week for either lunch or dinner and I’ll probably never get tired of it.
These saucy little sandwiches are perfect for busy moms who just want to get something on the table quickly, but don’t want to rely on a can of sauce with questionable ingredients. Our sloppy joe sauce is beyond simple to whip up, it tastes better than the canned stuff, and it’s a huuuuuuge hit with the family thanks to the sweet, savory, tangy goodness going on.
My kids have grown up eating this sloppy joes recipe and it’s really stood the test of time. I have no doubt that they’ll be all grown up and making these for their own kids one day! <3
You’ll find us serving these sloppy joes with a side of cucumber salad on busy weeknights. When we’re serving these to a big crowd, they go great with our cheesy funeral potatoes or some crock pot corn on the cob.
Our sloppy joe casserole (made with crispy tater tots!!) is another family favorite!
