   ½ teaspoon garlic powder

   You could make it a Manwhich night.

2. I didn’t know there was such a thing as old fashioned or homemade sloppy joes.

   As far as my knowledge goes sloppy joes are made with a seasoning packet and some tomato paste.

3. 1 pound lean ground beef

   ¼ cup chopped onion

   ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper

   ¾ cup ketchup

   1 tablespoon brown sugar

   1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

   2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

   2 cloves minced garlic

   Sautee ground beef, onion and green peppers. Drain. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for about 20 mins.

4. I have my Great Aunt Lorraine’s recipe, but if I share it out of the family she will rise from the grave and throw a rock at me.

5. here’s how I like to make them.

   Mix up tomato sauce, tomato paste, worcestireshire sauce, garlic powder. Who cares about amounts, taste as you go and stop when it tastes good. Dice and cook onions, remove and add to sauce, cook ground beef, drain if you care about your health (do not drain if you don’t care about your health), add sauce to pan and mix everything up, simmer for a lil. Then make a sandwich using this. It’s sloppy!

   You can add hot sauce or cayenne pepper if you want it to be spicy, or you can sub ketchup for the tomato ingredients if you’d rather.

6. 1 pound of ground beef (or turkey) and a can of Manwich (or store brand equivalent). That’s my recipe. Nobody in my family has ever done it any differently.

7. Make whatever sloppy joe recipe you want, but then, add some jalapeño cream cheese, more onions, then layer it with tater tots, top with jalapeños and cheese and bake it. Mmmmm mmmm

8. Here’s the best one I’ve made, I’ll let Chef John tell you the rest.

   1 ½ pounds extra lean ground beef

   ½ onion, diced

   2 cloves garlic, minced

   1 green bell pepper, diced

   1 cup water

   ¾ cup ketchup

   2 tablespoons brown sugar

   1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

   1 dash Worcestershire sauce

   1 ½ teaspoons salt, or to taste

   ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

   1 cup water

   1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

9. Chop an onion, chop a green pepper, saute until soft. Add a pound of beef, cook through, add a can of manwich, cook until hot.

   Done.

10. The pro-tip is to use a hot dog bun.

    It gives the same bun flavor as with a typical sloppy joe but not as sloppy.

    Known as the Sloppy John. Seriously, no snickering!

11. The sloppiest around

12. Ground venison makes it so much more flavorful imo

13. Brown some hamburger up, crumbled. Drain. Then add some ketchup and mustard to taste and to keep the meat held together. Use more ketchup than mustard. Toss in a spoon of brown sugar. Serve between two slices of cheap white bread. (If you’re feeling fancy, you can use hamburger buns.) Serve.
