There’s a reason Sloppy Joes have been a family favorite for generations—they’re quick, comforting, and packed with bold, savory-sweet flavor. This homemade version skips the canned sauce and instead simmers ground beef (or plant-based crumbles) in a rich, deeply flavored tomato-based sauce with just the right balance of sweetness, tang, and spice.
Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s the ultimate weeknight hero—served on soft buns, over rice, or even tucked into a baked potato. And yes, it’s gloriously messy… in the best way.
