These crowd-pleasing Sloppy Joe sandwiches will take you back to your childhood! This is my mom’s recipe and it always gets compliments!
There's nothing quite like Sloppy Joes to satisfy your comfort food cravings. This crowd-pleasing Sloppy Joe recipe will make you nostalgic for simpler times. Plus, it comes together quickly with ingredients you likely already have on hand.
What Is a Sloppy Joe?
A Sloppy Joe is a sandwich consisting of ground beef and onions in a tomato-based sauce served on a hamburger bun.
The sandwich likely originated in Sioux City, Iowa in the 1930s. According to legend, the "loose meat sandwich" was the creation of a cook named Joe.
How to Make Sloppy Joes
You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here's a brief overview of what you can expect when you make these classic Sloppy Joes:
1. Cook the beef, onion, and green pepper.2. Drain the liquids, then stir in the remaining ingredients.3. Simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve on hamburger buns.
Nicole’s Top Sloppy Joe Tips
“There’s no need to pull out any of that canned stuff,” according to Nicole McLaughlin (a.k.a. NicoleMcMom), who says you’ve already got everything you need to make a perfect Sloppy Joe sitting in your pantry. Here are a few of her favorite Sloppy Joe tips and tricks:
· Nicole doesn't like to drain the meat after she cooks it (she likes to use the rendered fat to saute the onions and bell peppers), so she prefers using a lean meat.· "When it comes to the bun," Nicole says, "the cheaper the better." For the classic Sloppy Joe experience, you want it to absorb all the excess liquid.· Make sure to overfill the bun so that some meat spills out. Why? So you can scoop it up with potato chips, of course!
What to Serve With Sloppy Joes
Recipe creator Tamara suggests serving these Sloppy Joe sandwiches with homemade sweet potato fries. They also pair well with all kinds of diner-style side dishes! For instance:
· Homemade Crispy Seasoned French Fries· Homemade Mac and Cheese· Refrigerator Dill Pickles· Restaurant-Style House Salad· Boston Baked Beans

Can You Make Sloppy Joes Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can make Sloppy Joes ahead of time. Simply follow the recipe instructions, let cool, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat thoroughly on the stove or in the microwave and serve on fresh hamburger buns.
Cookdap Community Tips and Praise
“I wanted a Sloppy Joe recipe that was quick and easy, a little sweet, but not unbearably sweet,” says momof2ingeorgia. “This was AWESOME! I make it once every 2 weeks. Quick and easy, especially on a day when we have soccer practices!”
“Great balance of flavors and as easy as opening a canned mix,” according to WithaC. “I’ve made it exactly as described and also in the Crock-Pot (brown and drain the beef first). This is now a family favorite.”
“Terrific recipe,” raves steve22. “Ended up using ground venison instead of beef. Couldn’t tell the difference. Will definitely make again. Quick and easy.”
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
- ¾ cup ketchup, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 6 hamburger buns, split
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir lean ground beef in the hot skillet until some of the fat starts to render, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion and bell pepper; continue to cook until vegetables have softened and beef is cooked through, 3 to 5 more minutes.
Step 2
Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and garlic powder; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Divide meat mixture evenly among hamburger buns.
Tips
If using ground beef with a higher fat content than lean, be sure to drain it before starting Step 2.

This was a great recipe, the only complaint that we have is that it’s just a bit dry. Next time around we’ll just make more of the sauce. Otherwise, great recipe.

This was great! My kids loved it! I added a couple of tablespoons of bar-b-que sauce to add a little zing. Thanks!
-
I haven’t had many sloppy joes, but I just had a craving for it. And this recipe definitely fulfilled my craving. It was delicious! And it’s really easy, too. Nothing extravagant, but very yummy.

I rated this as kid friendly because I think 99% of kids would love this. My child didn’t but that’s definitely not the fault of the recipe.
My boyfriend and I both really enjoyed this recipe and it was very easy to make. It will definitely be served again. -

very good but i would omit the mustard too strong but i’m not a mustard person
-
Good basic recipe.I increased ketchup to 1 cup,added 1/4c of barbecue sauce and added 1 clove of fresh garlic instead of powder.Also I chopped up a couple of hot peppers and served on buttered,toasted buns
-
I was very pleased with this recipe and definitely will make it again. I substituted barbecue sauce for some of the ketchup with great results.

Not as sloppy as the sloppy joes I am used too, but very tasty.

This is a magical recipe!! You’d never suspect such a simple recipe would have such a profound taste!! I am truly impressed and have added this recipe to my personal family recipe book (that I give away at weddings only). Tamara, thanks for sharing!!

Excellent!!! The entire family loved it!!! I did notice when cooking that it began to dry out a little – so, I covered with a lid and the steam added just the right of moisture back to it. This definitely goes into my “special” collection!

I browned the ground beef, onion and green pepper. I then put the remaining ingredients into a crock pot and cooked on low for about 3-4 hours. This recipe was really simple & delicious.

My very picky family LOVED this one! I did cover it and added 1/4 cup water, so that it wasn’t too dry. VERY GOOD!!!

I was a bit disappointed by this recipe. It just tasted like ground beef simmered with ketchup and mustard, which basically, is all it is. I’ve been wanting to introduce my 4yearold son to Sloppy Joes, since he loves tacos so much. This was not the recipe I was hoping for; he didn’t like it at all. Guess I’ll try Manwich or one of those McCormick packets …

Great recipe! A little sweet for grown ups but kiddos love it. Maybe I’ll add a little BBQ sauce next time for the adults. Overall, very easy and tasty!

Three other Moms and I made this recipe for 150 servings and it turned out GREAT! We feed a high school bible study group once a week and the week we served these sloppy joes, we got lots of compliments!
-
The family and I enjoyed this a lot, especially my youngest daughter, who actually ate 1 1/2 of these. We like this a lot better than the ones made with Hunt’s or Manwich brand sloppy joe sauce.
-
I’ve never had Sloppy Joes before — a little too sweet for me. But my husband and my step kids finished it up. There was none left after dinner, so they liked it! Pretty easy to make, no fancy ingredients.

This was ok, I think my family liked it well enough. It could have used a dash of Worchester I think. Unfortunately we only had the green ketchup on hand so it looked unappealing but it tasted ok. It tasted a little to ketchup-y for me..

Great recipe! I sauteed the onions and peppers in hot and spicy garic oil before adding the beef. Additionally, my secret incredient that I add to the sauce is spicy tamarind sauce. Adds additonal sweetness and a bit of a punch.

This was WAY too sweet for me and my family. I had to add chili powder and onion powder to it to try to mask some of the sweetness. After I added the chili powder, it was great!
-
I added my own special kick to this recipe by using the Light Brown Sugar, Sambal Oelek, half ketchup and half Heinz 57 sauce and Sweet-Hot Mustard…. I also sauteed the onions and peppers in olive oil first.. That sure kicks it up another notch!!!
Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Great recipe – our bell choir at church has used it twice for meals served at church and it was a huge success! We’ve served over 100 people each time and have had many compliments and no complaints.

This is a great basic sloppy joe recipe that you can customize to suit your taste. I found it tasty just the way it is and I have made it with the addition of other ingredients that really enhanced it. So give it a try and don’t be afraid to experiment with it.
-
I have never tasted a more delicious Sloppy Joe – and my husband agrees. I added about a tablespoon and a half of sweet barbeque sauce (Montgomery Inn brand to be exact – Cincinnati favorite) to give it a little kick. Perfect!
-
Oh My Goodness!! This was AWESOME. WAY better than any store bought sloppy joe mix. This will definately be a regular in our home.
-
This was pretty good and I will make it again – next time I would add more “sauce” – I found it to be a little dry.

All the raves about this recipe were true. I made it the day before I needed it for
an informal family birthday celebration. I doubled the recipe thinking I could freeze
half for later use . . . foolish me–it was so popular we ate it all! The best thing about
it is it’s simplicity and can be made lower fat by draining meat throroughly after
browning. I highly recommend it (and so do the six other members of the family
who ate it.) -
This was very tasty!! If you are making this for 4 or more people, I would definately double the recipe. This is most definately better than the store-bought sloppy joe mix. I will be making this my permanent sloppy joe recipe!

I’ve made homemade sloppy joes from different recipes before, and so far this one is the easiest, and it tastes just as good as the much more involved versions! My only adjustment would be to double the recipe if you truly want to feed 6, unless you intend to give each person 1 helping on a small hamburger bun.

My husband and I both thought this tasted great. My kids aren’t keen on this kind of food so I really couldn’t rate it on the kid friendly level. I didn’t have any green peppers to add but it still had plenty of flavor. Delicious and fast!

Wow! I didn’t think I’d like this one, but it turned out great! My tastebuds are singing right now. :o)
-
This is a great sloppy joe recipe! My kids picked out the onion and bell pepper but ate every last bite of the meat. My husband and I loved this and I will be adding it to our dinner rotation. I did take the advice of a previous reviewer and add worcestershire sauce. I made hamburger buns with the Amish White Bread recipe and topped the meal off with fruit and a salad. Next time I am going to try it with ground turkey instead of the beef for a lower fat meal. Wonderful!

Great recipe! I have made it twice already. I use less sugar, more ketchup, and about a spoonfull of K.C. Masterpiece BBQ Sauce. Delicious!
-
I loved this recipe! I didn’t use the green peppers and added a little vinegar and worcestershire sauce for an extra zing. Both of my children loved it!(including my son who is very picky)Thank you!
-
I totally agree with the other reviewers that this was by far one of the best sloppy joe recipes I’ve ever tasted. Thanks to the other comments, I had already planned to make only four servings, because there definitely wasn’t enough for six people.
-
We added some extra water and covered it while simmering and it turned out great! Definitely a keeper for us. It only makes about 3-4 sandwiches, so we’ll definitely double it next time. 🙂

Thank you Tamara !!!!!! I had a terrible craving for Sloppy Joes yesterday, & found your recipe. I thought I’d have some for lunch for just me & save the rest for dinner for two. NOT… I ate more than half for lunch yesterday & had the rest for lunch today. Great & so quick & easy. Maybe I’ll try again next week , so my Sweetie can have some ;^)

When I asked my boyfriend if it tasted like sloppy joes, he thought I had added something to the can, but I said these were homemade!!! He was extremely impressed. Who would have thought that you could make sloppy joes (sans preservatives) from stuff everyone has at home! I followed the suggestion by Cheryl, left on 5/2/02, and it worked out GREAT. THANKS!!!!

This is a fantastic recipe. I’d never done Sloppy Joe’s from scratch and wanted an easy recipe–this is it. I accidentally left out the brown sugar, but put BBQ sauce in instead. I would recommend upping the recipe if you are going to feed more than 3-4 people.

I had never made Sloppy Joes before but my Mum used to make them when I was a kid and I loved them. I’m not a pepper fan so left this out and my whole family loved it. We had them for tea last night. I will definately add this to my list of family favourite meals. Thank you!

I give these the highest rating because it tasted great, it was easy to make, and it consists of everything you’d have on hand. Sloppy Joes shouldn’t be a gourmet affair, it should be a quick-to-make weeknight meal that tastes good. These are the only ones I will be making from now on.
-
We LOVED this recipe! Easy to make and quick too! I substituted one fresh diced jalapeno (seeds and all) for the bell pepper while frying up the hamburger meat to give it a little kick and a tasty zing! We will definitely be eating this one again soon!!

Quick and easy recipe. I really liked the idea of the brown sugar. It adds that little hint of sweetness that just makes it!!
-
I found this recipe to be lacking something after simmering so I added 1 Tbsp. of KC Masterpiece Original BBQ sauce and it was great!!! I suggest that you taste it before serving and add to it if you feel it needs it.
-
The only problem with this recipe is that it did not make enough for the second and third helpings requested by my family. Next time I will double, OR TRIPLE! Awesome!

This was awesome, my husband and I don’t like the cinnamon in the packaged stuff, so this was great! I screwed up and used mustard powder, so then I added a squirt of prepared mustard and some regular barbecue sauce and it was AMAZING! My husband thought it was ok, but he hates anything sloppy. I will make this again.
I also added mushrooms. Can’t wait to eat the leftovers.

This is a great classic sloppy joe taste. I increase the mustard to two teaspoons to offset the ketchup taste and finish it in the crock pot. It is truly yummy after a few hours. Thanks Tamara!

better than from a mix. my husband loved this more than i did. however it was not as “sloppy” as he had hoped, and we both thought it could use more sauce. i used 1.3 pounds of ground chicken instead of 1 pound of ground beef. however, i don’t think that can account for why it was dry. i would probably double the ketchup, mustard and spices for that amount of meat.

I love this recipe and will use it to feed about 45 people at our Post. I will change two things: First, I am diabetic and the 3 Tbs. of Brown sugar is a bit much. I have made this recipe 3 times and seem to like only one TBS in my sauce. Second, I need a little bit more sauce. The sauce is so easy and inexpensive. I am placing this recipe in “My Favorite Cookbook”, which is personalized to my liking. Thanks again.

This was a great recipe! I did not add the green peppers or onions because I do not enjoy that in my sloppy joes, but it worked out great for me without them. Very tasty and very easy to make when you have had a long day and don’t feel like cooking much but want a decent meal!

This was great! We added a little water and we kept it covered while it simmered, so it didn’t dry out.
