Sassy Sloppy Joes

Sassy Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes are one of those great American ground beef recipes. Grown-ups have eaten them since childhood, practically making them comfort food. The ketchup and spices that season them are classic.

I have been making this recipe for as long as I can remember, now my daughters are grown up and making this recipe for their families. I have changed mine up slightly by adding mustard, about a 1/4 to 1/3 cup, and extra ketchup. Then topping it off with a slice of cheese on the bun! My family will tell you this is truly comfort food good for cold weather.

I have many this recipe many times, the only change (if you want to call it a change) is that I do not put in the red pepper sauce because our house does not like hot stuff. I will never buy a can sloppy joe again.

I have made this at least 50 times and I have never received a single complaint. Sometimes I add a tsp of light brown sugar but it's fantastic with or without it.
