Sloppy Joes – A Simple Classic

Sloppy joes is one of those recipes that everyone makes. I always thought it was funny that sloppy joes (Manwich) came in a can, because it is so simple to make a pot of sloppy joes. Everyone has their own twist on sloppy joes, but they are all similar. Hamburger, onions and ketchup are common ingredients. The recipe I currently use came from Arlys Staub, the mother of Andy’s best friend, Michael.

Whatever recipe you use to make sloppy joes, consider making a double batch and freezing some of them for a future meal. It’s one of those ideas to cook once for two meals – one now and one later.

Sloppy Joes - Joyfully Thriving.com

Ingredients:

1.5 pounds hamburger
1 small onion, diced
1 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce
1/2 – 3/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoon mustard
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 can tomato soup

Directions: 

Brown hamburger with diced onion. Drain the grease from the hamburger. Add in the rest of the ingredients. Stir together and simmer over low heat for 1 hour. Serve on hamburger buns for a classic sandwich.

If freezing, allow the mixture to cool and pour sloppy joes into a quart size freezer bag. Lay flat to freeze. This helps maximize your freezer space.
