Sloppy Joe's

[Rafter H BBQ]

Nice job Chris, recipe sounds good and some tasty looking sloppy’s there!

 

[Steve H]

Heck yes! Looks tasty! I've tried to make it from scratch a couple times. I just couldn't get the profile good enough.

you must have more dainty hands than I do...lol

LOL ya never know

Tis good comfort meal.
For those that don't like the sweet, replace the sugar and ketchup with another can of tomato paste.
edit and a 1/4 cup vinegar

Good to know if I want a change of pace

I grew up on the stuff. It is better with finer bits of meat, but it needs a stiff gravy (tomato sauce) to hold it all together on the bun. Reduce it well.

Totally agree John. I prefer the broken down this way.

We make our own too. We freeze it in straight sided canning jelly jars.

I'll be tossing the leftovers in vacuumed sealed bags this week.

Nice job Chris, recipe sounds good and some tasty looking sloppy’s there!

Appreciate it Justin.

Thanks Steve I'm really happy with the way this one turned out, but that won't stop me from making a slight alteration to the recipe here and there. It's a good baseline.

Great interpretation of the sloppy joe! sometimes simple is where it is at!

Looks great Chris, love sloppy joes, not a first date kind of meal at all, lol

I like to smoke the burger first like Cliff clifish said, For the soup I wanted chunks , but for Joe's I would just crumble after smoke. I have to add the chunks to the soup later or it crumbles up more but itself in the soup.

That looks great, Chris. I'd definitely tear into one of those...

We haven't had sloppy Joe's in a while, and when we do it comes from the can.

Growing up, sloppy Joe's were a regular and always out of the can, usually Manwich. I haven't eaten one in a long, long time...too long...

No worries! I love sloppy joes! I have been making them the same way as long as I can remember. Beef, green pepper, onion, ketchup (catsup?) mustard, brown sugar and every so often a splash of vinegar. If I want heat I add it afterwards usually in the form of home made pickled jalapenos or otherwise. I can tell ya we'll be having some this week now that has been mentioned!

That looks great! I loved the taste of Sloppy Joe's when I was a kid, and yourn's looks awesome, but I could never come to terms with the fact that there is no possible way to keep it all in the bun during the process of eating it.

 

[JLeonard]

Good looking Joe....All I'd add is a slice of cheddar cheese! Canned Manwich is a regular in our rotation at the house for a quick meal.

That looks perfect! Looks like what my wife makes... got her recipe from her mom when she owned her bakery... was probably from her grandma. Always have a spoon handy for clean up afterwards lol. Eat mine with a slice of American cheese on it... wife likes Lay's potato chips on hers. Freezes well also for quick meals later on.

Very nice Chris! The only thing missing for me is a bottom and top slice of American cheese, but that a side I would gladly gobble that up quick!

PS edit....the cheese is for flavor but it also keeps the bun "dry", ie say you made up 50 or so of these for a party....The last person in line still has a firm bun to pick up......The things you learn from the food service side of things.......

We just love Sloppy Joes at our house and yours looks great Chris. Thanks for the recipe. I've done the 'Over The Top' sloppy Joe recipe that floats around the net and it is really good but I like the idea of chili powder and cayenne in yours. Points for sure!

 

[ifitsdeadsmokeit]

Yum. We use an old family recipe. Ours has condensed tomato soup in it. Let it simmer to thicken up. Do add red pepper flakes for a little kick but not chili powder. Personally not a fan of the tomato paste flavor in most things. Most of the other ingredients are the same minus the beef broth and mustard.

 

[HalfSmoked]

That was a honest mistake no copycats that way Adam.
Awesome looking, I would like at least 2 for a taste testing.

I haven't had sloppies since my Mom used to make them. I'm gonna try your recipe. Those look awesome. Great job!

Thanks Bill, and you're welcome.

Appreciate it Keith. Simple is my middle name.
