Description
This quick and satisfying Sloppy Joe recipe uses only three ingredients for a no-fuss, nostalgic meal. With just ground beef, Sloppy Joe sauce, and hamburger buns, dinner is ready in under 20 minutes—perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 can (15 oz) Sloppy Joe sauce
- 4–6 hamburger buns
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
Drain any excess fat if using regular ground beef.
Stir in the Sloppy Joe sauce and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Optionally toast buns in a dry skillet or under a broiler for 1–2 minutes.
Spoon the meat mixture onto buns and serve hot
Notes
Toasting the buns adds crunch and helps prevent sogginess. For a lighter version, ground turkey or lentils can be used as substitutes.
