It's my daughters FIFTH birthday and she LOVES sloppy joes! I hadn't really ever made my own sloppy joes until she kept requesting them because she had them at daycare and loved them. So after finding out many people use "manwich" (which is totally fine) I set out to make up my own recipe after seeing what other people use. I started more basic and added more spices each time and now I'm a big fan of them too. So enjoy!
Sloppy Joe's
1 1/2 lbs hamburger
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp worcestershire
1 tsp liquid smoke
2 squeeze ketchup
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dry mustard
Brown hamburger and remove fat. Stir in garlic salt, salt + pepper, chili powder, onion powder, dry mustard. Then pour in tomato sauce, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, ketchup, tomato paste and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer for 20 minutes or cook on low in crockpot all day.
I love to get brioche hamburger buns & fresh sliced provolone from the deli. Top one side of bun with provolone and toast in toaster oven or broil in oven until bread is lightly golden and cheese is melted!
We love to eat with plain, wavy potato chips. Scoop up any insides that fall out with them - so good!
