Notes
Recipe Tips
- Cooking Sloppy Joes - Watch the mixture closely while you're simmering the mixture and add in more water as needed so that it does not burn.
- Preparing Vegetables - I prefer the green bell pepper and onions diced into small pieces so that they blend well into the sauce when cooking.
- Hamburger Buns - Toast your buns for extra flavor and sturdiness.
- Change Meat - For a lighter variation, substitute the ground beef and make it with ground turkey or ground chicken.
- Spicy Sloppy Joes - Add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
- Add Extra Veggies - Add diced carrots or mushrooms for more texture.
- Make it Cheesy - Add a slice of cheddar or melt shredded cheese on top.
