How to Make Sloppy Joes

Sloppy joes are an American style dish, made out of ground beef, ketchup, tomato sauce, and other ingredients. The difference between a sloppy joe and a burger is the meat is cooked loosely instead of formed into a shape, despite being eaten between two hamburger buns.

1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup (60 ml) water

Cook the meat in a large saucepan over medium heat. Make sure all the meat is cooked thoroughly. Drain all the grease and fat out from the pan.

Add the remaining ingredients to the pan.

Mix everything together while getting the mixture to a boil.

Turn down the heat to a simmer. Cover and allow to sit for about 30 to 40 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat. Fold the mixture a few times so the simmered ingredients aren't sitting in one part of the pan.

Toast the hamburger buns. Toasting the bread will give it that crispy taste as you bite into the sandwich.

Place a generous amount of the sloppy joe mixture on each of the bottom hamburger buns. Gently lay the top hamburger bun on top of the mixture.

This is a great meal to add vegetables, such as diced celery, olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
Try enhancing a hotdog by ladling a spoonful of the sloppy joe mixture on the top of the hotdog in a bun.
Vegans and vegetarians can also enjoy tempeh sloppy joes.
