My mom’s Sloppy Joes!
I typically break out a can of Manwich if I have a craving for Sloppy Joes, but as The Kid so eloquently puts it, “MiMi’s is better”. So, I’m leaving the canned stuff in the pantry and making it the way my mom does!
Guess what… only 3 ingredients!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground chuck/beef
1-8oz. can Hunt’s Tomato Sauce (Basil, Garlic & Oregano variety)
2/3 cup water
Directions:
1. Brown meat and drain off the fat.
2. Add Tomato Sauce and water.
3. Stir and let simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.
Serve on a regular hamburger bun or slider.
That’s it! I also heated up some frozen fries for old time’s sake. Mom used to serve tater tots, but I couldn’t find a bag smaller than the family size at Wally-World yesterday, so we got seasoned curly fries. The Kid was in Sloppy Joe heaven!
This meat mixture freezes well and also makes a yummy spaghetti sauce!

YES! The one time I made sloppy joes I was worried my husband was going to be like “what is this phoned in dinner.” But he was SO DANG EXCITED haha! I really should make them more often!
That’s hilarious! I didn’t even know you could “phone in” sloppy joes! It’s my son’s favorite meal…he’s so funny…He turns his nose up at Manwich!!
