Are you looking for the best sloppy joes recipe? I have it for you! I love pairing our tangy sauce to make these Tangy Sloppy Joes. It’s by far the most delicious sloppy joes that you’ll ever eat. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
It’s Tuesday night and homework is in full swing. You have a few kids working on homework, while a few others are human tornadoes sweeping over the house, meanwhile it’s almost dinner time. That means, “What’s for dinner?” is being ask by all. Sound familiar? That’s when you answer, the Best Tangy Sloppy Joes!
Then, suddenly cheers erupt and all is well in your home.
Wishful thinking? Maybe. I can tell you though these are so good and tasty. I actually use this tangy sauce for a variety of recipes including these Tangy Meatballs and Tangy Meatloaf.
It gives a nice hint of sweetness to your dish, the flavors just compliment the meat so well. I tend to go back and forth between using ground turkey or ground beef. It really comes down to how much red meat we have had during that particular week and what’s in the freezer.
I will say, I prefer ground beef, but my diet tends to prefer ground turkey. It’s such a daily struggle…isn’t it?
What do you need for the Best Tangy Sloppy Joes Recipe?
- Ground Meat
- Ketchup
- Brown Sugar
- Chopped Onion or Onion Powder
- Liquid Smoke
- Garlic Powder
Most of those you’ll likely find hiding out in the pantry. I prefer to use chopped onion, but if I’m out of onions, then onion powder is typically always available in our pantry.
Next up, you want to build those sloppy joes, so we typically use a hoagie roll or sub roll, then I top it with shaved Parmesan.
After that, we have a delicious Tangy Sloppy Joe, which happens to be a favorite for dinner.
Complete the meal with Baked Potato Chips!
Did I mention you can make these in just about 20 minutes?!
It’s quick, easy, and tasty. Now it’s time to enjoy a delicious sloppy joe.
Happy Eating!
