Favorite sloppy joe recipes please!

Anonymous
DH has requested that I make sloppy joes for dinner this week. I've never actually eaten a sloppy joe, so I don't know what makes a good or "authentic" recipe. If you have a recipe that your family enjoys, please post it, or a link, here!

Me too. I'm sure we will get flamed.

I think a homemade version is basically ketchup, brown sugar, worcestershire.

Sorry I don't follow an exact recipe for this.

I sautee onion, bell pepper and garlic, add ground sirloin, salt and pepper, worcestershire.

Add small can pureed tomatoes, couple of tablespoons of ketchup and brown sugar, about a teaspoon of brown mustard and cook until it is thick.

Thanks everyone! We'll try homemade this week, but I'll definitely give Manwich a try another time.

Pittsburgh version: very thinly shaved "chipped ham" with Heinz Chile sauce on a bun.

I'm very much a meat eater, but I love this vegan recipe. Worth try sometime.

I have never used a recipe

When my kids were in school I made Sloppy Joe spaghetti. Just throw in some cooked egg noodles. They loved this after school.

Lol I grew up eating that. It was called ham barbecue when I was a kid. We had the manwich type of sloppy joes too.

Cook's Illustrated/Cook's Country Sloppy Joes

Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 lb 85% lean ground beef
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 cup tomato puree
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
4 hamburger buns

Directions
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and salt and stir until coated with oil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 10 minutes (if onion begins to burn after 5 minutes, reduce heat to low). Add garlic and chili powder and cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beef and cook, breaking up meat with wooden spoon, until just pink, about 3 minutes.
Add 1/4 teaspoon pepper, brown sugar, tomato puree, ketchup, water, and hot sauce. Simmer until Sloppy Joe sauce is slightly thicker than ketchup, 8 to 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings. Spoon meat mixture onto hamburger buns and serve.
Make Ahead: If you find yourself with leftover Sloppy Joes or just feel like making a double batch, the meat mixture freezes well for up to one month. To return the meat mixture to its original consistency, you may need to add a little water when it is reheated.
