Best Sloppy Joe Recipe ~Your New Family Favorite!

The best ever sloppy joe recipe. Once you try this you will never go back to the canned stuff you buy at the store!

For your Friday night dinner I bring you: The Best Sloppy Joe Recipe ever! This is another one of those recipes that I grew up with. Tangy, sweet and perfect for summer nights.

Okay, okay, I know it’s not even spring yet, but a girl can dream right? And in all honesty, it’s great any time of year. 🙂

The best sloppy joe recipe. Once you try this you will never go back to the canned stuff you buy at the store!

Best Sloppy Joe Recipe:

  • 2# hamburger
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste

I make sure to use an organic brand of ketchup and mustard, and use raw cane sugar instead of brown. Growing up we always added the worchestershire sauce, but I don’t add it anymore.

Thaw your hamburger ahead of time and put all ingredients into a skillet.

Turn your heat to medium and cook. Stir frequently so the hamburger doesn’t fry up in chunks. Once the hamburger is cooked through, I like to put the lid on the pan and simmer for 20 minutes.

If you are a crock pot fan, this recipe can work there as well. Just be sure to mix the meat in with the other ingredients really well. Cook in your crock pot on medium for 5-6 hours.

Seriously guys, these are the best sloppy joes ever! They will beat any canned mix you could buy at the store.  I hope you can try them and tell me what you think. 🙂
