Recipe View 1 mins Serve hot on your favorite buns. Optional toppings include shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, or a dollop of sour cream.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the sauce while simmering.
To add more depth of flavor, consider using a combination of ground beef and ground pork, or add a tablespoon of tomato paste when you add the chili sauce.
If you prefer a sweeter Sloppy Joe, increase the amount of brown sugar to taste.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
