Sloppy Joe’s has been a staple dinner for as long as I can remember. A true Midwest classic. It is easy, feeds a bunch of people, and tastes great.
Growing up, my family used sloppy joe mix and a can of tomato paste. It was good, probably one of my favorite dinners. It is just as easy to make with staple ingredients- nothing fancy. Zero preservatives and actually more delicious than a packet of seasoning.
We pile this hearty sloppy joe ground beef on our homemade burger buns that are so soft. It makes a decent sandwich into a delicious sandwich.
