Sloppy Joe’s! You know you want it! You can’t look at a picture of a Sloppy Joe and not want to take a big bite. The memories of your childhood flashback to your Sunday family meal with the highlight of the meal being the Sloppy Joe!
In developing this recipe, I wanted to put together a somewhat healthier version than our Sloppy Joes of the past. So the question became, “Do I really want to make a sandwich using a prepackaged spice blend, or a sauce with high fructose corn syrup that comes in a can with a lot of preservatives?” I can just as easily make a simple healthier version that will make an old family favorite, new again! Try topping your Sloppy Joe with something new!
We also added some baking soda to our meat. It acts as a tenderizer and keeps it moist during the cook. It is a great tip that works for any ground or sliced meat. This technique works for anything including any ground meat, fajitas, stir fry
I hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as mine does! (Check here for some recipes for a few of my other favorite sandwiches.)
As always, thanks for Spending Time in My Kitchen!
The inspiring photo caused a craving. So, we made them last night for friends, following recipe as posted. They were a savory hit. We will do this again, and again…. nostalgic.
