Easy Sloppy Joes
These easy Sloppy Joes are ready in less than 30 minutes, making them a fabulous choice for a weeknight dinner!
I don't know about you, but cooking isn't my favorite aspect of life (I love baking, but just don't love cooking), so quick and easy recipes are my favorite. These Sloppy Joes pull together in less than 30 minutes start to finish!
I love Sloppy Joes, but I'm not a big fan of the ones made with tons of ketchup. They just taste too ketchupy! So I decided to try making them with tomato sauce instead, to give them a bit more mellow tomato taste, and my whole family loved them.
Serve your Sloppy Joes on a bun or a hoagie roll, or even over rice-- you'll love them any way!
What sides go with Sloppy Joes?
Sloppy Joes go well with a variety of side dishes. We love to eat them with Broccoli Jicama Coleslaw, Broccoli Salad, Carrot Salad, or Air Fryer Spiralized French Fries. Pretty much anything crunchy or crispy will go well with Easy Sloppy Joes.
Do You Drain the Meat for Sloppy Joes?
Yes. You will cook the ground beef, and then drain the fat off of it before adding seasonings. If you don't drain the meat, you'll end up with a soupy, greasy mess.

So simple and yet so delicious. I love sloppy joe sandwiches. We enjoy them with broccoli typically. It's been a while since we made them. Thanks for the reminder 🙂
We love sloppy joes! They are so easy to make. I love having chips as a side, and overfilling the sloppy joes so we can scoop the meat up with the chips.
Such an easy recipe and perfect for lazy nights when I really do not want to cook. You just gave me an idea for dinner tonight
I am not much of a fan when it comes to Sloppy Joes but my son is! He will love this for sure.
Sloppy Joes have always been my favorite and I made them for my kids a while back. At first they were curious about the taste because they are a picky eaters. But they loved them and now they ask for them at all times.
My family loves them as well! And I love that they're so quick and easy!
We used to have Sloppy Joes growing up. I like your recipe replacing ketchup with tomato sauce!
I think the flavor is so much better this way!
That looks tremendous! Yep me too prefers baking than cooking. I guess because it's a lot easier than how cooking works.
True! I think I also don't love that cooking is necessary every single day. Baking feels more exciting and special.
It looks like a great recipe. It has been a long time since we made Sloppy Joes.
We love sloppy joes in our house. Your sides are on point. We prefer mac n cheese or fries with our sloppy joes. And now Im hungry
Oh, mac and cheese is a good idea to go with these! Thanks for the idea!
We love Sloppy Joes and if they are easy, then that's the recipe for me.
These are so easy! They've become one of my go-to recipes for busy nights!
This seems like a really simple way to do it. I love that about it. I may need to try this because I just love mustard so this may be perfect for me.
I hope you enjoy it! It's my favorite!
I love the tips you gave and this seems like the best way to make a good sloppy joe. I will have to pass on these tips to my friends.
Thanks! I always appreciate when readers share my recipes!
Yum, I will have to try this! We do enjoy our sloppy joe's. I admit, I make mine from a can. This looks so much better.
The best part about this is fresh ingredients but barely any extra time over a can. You should definitely give it a try!
Love sloppy joes...think I'll put those on my menu for next week. Chicken enchiladas sounds pretty tasty too. Thanks for all your yummy ideas!
Thanks! These are so good, I've made them quite a few times in the last couple of months-- and it's even better that they're so quick to make!
