Large skillet *I like to use one with a lid so I can keep sloppy joe mix warm once it's done!
- 1 lb ground beef
- 16 oz jar chili sauce *see note below
- 4-5 hamburger buns
Recipe notes:
General: Sloppy joe mix can be divided between 4-6 sandwiches depending on bun size.
General: Want to bulk up your meat mixture with veggies? Add finely chopped onions or green pepper! Sauté with your hamburger meat to soften.
Chili sauce: I buy the store brand from Kroger or Safeway, find it by the ketchup and other condiments! Heinz chili sauce is also a good option and has very similar ingredients to the store brand options.
Brown ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat if necessary.
1 lb ground beef
Stir in chili sauce. Cook meat and sauce together for 10-15 minutes, then turn heat off.
16 oz jar chili sauce
Toast buns if desired and divide sloppy joe mixture evenly. Top sandwiches with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese and pickles if desired.
4-5 hamburger buns
Enjoy!
