I been making these Diet Cola Sloppy Joes for many years. Smoked a couple burgers at 225 for a hour. I took a bite and could of just stopped here and made a burger. Ended up eating two they where so good.

Edit: Some wanted recipe:

I do add black pepper and cayenne. I use 80/20 and the fat cooks out on the smoker. Tilt the lid so some moisture can evaporate. Let sit about 20 minutes to thicken. Great flavor.

I LOVE sloppy Joe's, and those look killer!! I do a smoked version every once in a while kinda sorta like over the top chili. I put the green peppers and onion in the meat instead of the normal saute. Either way I would crush those!
 
No hate, but wow. I can honestly say I've probably eaten far far more than my weight in sloppy joes in my 58 years. Hit the scale at 207 this morning for reference 😅
unfortunately I hit at 221...lol

Due you got a get on the sloppy Joe wagon!! A fav comfort food of mine. They look great Brian.
yeah, I am behind of the times on a number of meals.

Can't say that I can recall ever making sloppy Joe's from scratch, guess just never had a decent recipe. Have eaten a crap load of burgers though.

Do y'all actually use a sloppy joe seasoning... Or just use BBQ sauce ??

Good old can of Manwich from the grocery store is a great start , and my go to . Look in the aisle with chile , corned beef hash and stuff .
You could certainly use BBQ sauce . Sloppy Joe is more green pepper and onion forward .
My Mom used Manwich the most , but would also use BBQ sauce , ground beef and a can of pork and beans .
