Classic Sloppy Joes | 'Sloppy' but not too sloppy!

Whether it’s for special game days, a tailgate party, or any other laidback occasion, Sloppy Joes are a perfect sandwich meat recipe that everyone enjoys. This recipe has a sweet yet tangy sauce with ketchup and yellow mustard that easily coats the two types of ground meat. The best part is that it’s a one-pot meal that’s super quick to make.

------------------------------

Skip ahead:

0:00 Intro
0:45 Browning the meat on the stove
2:36 Adding in the flour
3:15 Adding the flavorings
4:53 Serving the meat and tasting

INGREDIENTS

- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup tomato juice
- 3/4 cup ketchup

INSTRUCTIONS

- In a 4-quart saucepan, heat 1 tbsp of neutral oil over medium heat. Add the onion, ground beef, and ground pork. Cook and break the meat into small pieces until it is evenly browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Once the meat is cooked, check for any extra liquid in the bottom of the saucepan. If there is liquid, continue to cook until it is dry, or pour it off and discard.

- Sprinkle the flour and salt over the cooked meat and stir to combine. Cook the flour over medium-low for one minute to remove any raw flavor.

- Once cooked, remove the mixture from the heat and add the salt, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, tomato juice, and ketchup. Stir to incorporate evenly and return the mixture to medium heat. Stir and cook the Sloppy Joes over medium heat until the mixture tightens and warms through, 4-6 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the heat and serve.

I make mine with celery, onion, green pepper, all finely chopped. A bottle of chili sauce, brown sugar and vinegar. Delicious! It’s one of my husbands favorites.

Eating sloppy joes on garlic bread with cheese was a MUST. This is the first time I’ve heard about using ketchup. We used condensed tomato soup and to stretch the meat, mom used baked beans with the ground beef.

'Melting cheese helps you have a good time' 🤣👍

I imagine that your home-canned pickles make this recipe a superior Sloppy Joe. I wasn't expecting pickles, but I am all for it!

Sloppy joes, tater tots and baby green salad with ranch croutons is one of my favorites.

I remember my mom making meatloaf in the microwave 🤣 I love this channel, the recipes are not too complicated and very adaptable. I had to teach myself how to cook for my family and channels like this have been a such a helpful tool. Thank you.

Sloppy Joes are a true memory for me that I first ate at a church youth group meeting. It was love at first bite. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Yum!
