Homemade sloppy joes
This easy sloppy joe recipe is homemade and so much better than canned sauce. It's a great weeknight family dinner and can serve a crowd!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1 can tomato sauce 15 ounces
- 1/3 cup onion diced
- 2 tablespoons BBQ seasoning or BBQ sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Cook and crumble the ground beef over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When the meat is mostly cooked, drain the grease.
- Return the meat to the stovetop and add in the diced onion. Cook for 3 to 5 more minutes to let the meat finish cooking and until the onions soften and become more translucent.
- Add the tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir.
- Add the BBQ seasoning or sauce and brown sugar. Stir together and continue cooking over medium-high heat until bubbly (about 3 minutes).
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve on buns and enjoy!
