Sloppy Joe | Classic recipe for making Sloppy Joes

This is a great favorite in the USA

When i was a kid in late 60s in Liverpool my best friends mum had married a GI and she used to make sloppy joe, this takes me back 50odd yrs, happy days 😢

The only difference I can see is the addition of the beef gravy. Looks so good. Pickles and American cheese yum. As a Yank I have to say you did a great job.

Great advice about the chopping of the onion Rik those chefs on tv just blow hard .!

that certainly looks tastier than the old Glasgow standby... a piece and mince. A couple of spoonfuls of beef mince slapped between a slice of Mother's Pride plain bread with brown sauce. 😀

Fantastic dish for a large gathering, put it in a slow cooker and everyone help themselves. 😋😋👍👍

I love Sloppy Joe's. I could eat three at once lol. These look so good. I confess to usually buying the sauce in a can.

Love them. Great video thanks Rik

Used to make these for my children years ago. Rik, a Sushi Chef showed me your onion dicing trick. He was cutting shallots super fine! I never went back to the other method. American cheese is processed using Colby, and American cheddar. You can find the white cheese here. Now I’m hungry

Howdy from San Saba, Texas. I grew up eating Sloppy Joe’s my entire life. We usually have more of a tomato based version, but I believe it like yours better. I’m going to try it as soon I can. I’m new to your channel and I’m really enjoying it. Keep up the good work.

When I was a kid my mom made us sloppy joe all the time using basically the same recipe. Instead of gravy, though, she used a hickory BBQ sauce. Very tangy. Great video. I'll have to give it a go.

Very nice again Rik you never fail boy .!

I live in the north east,cold , rain . But guess what I cooked some S.Jays and what a brilliant result following your recipe.

In the US & Canada, this is a traditional meal served on Friday or Saturday night accompanied by coleslaw on the side and sweetened iced tea or a cola to drink. I cook the sauce using equal portions of Campbell's tomato soup and ketchup; beef broth to dilute, seasoned by salt, pepper, worstershire sauce and a good shaking of taco seasoning, along with the same vegetables you used. The wooden spoon should stand on its own upright when the sauce is done. Some people cook it for hours which I find unnecessary. A beloved dish for the young ones and even fussy teenagers. Your version looks very tasty too.

Hi Rik, I'm from the USA and the ingredients!:hand-purple-blue-peace: you added except the use of Worcestershire sauce. However, Rik I love your addition of the gravy everything's better with gravy.

I take a slightly different tack on the soggy bun bottom problem: assemble it upside down, piling everything onto the top part, then turning it over to eat it. Not as great in plate appearance, but it works.

Looks so good. I had Sloppy Joe's a couple of times, when I lived in Yorkshire. I think it's a Northern meal. They didn't toast the rolls or put cheese and pickles in them. I like your recipe. Definitely something tasty to try. Thanks for sharing. I'd forgotten all about Sloppy Joe's and didn't know all the ingredients needed.

Heard of them , but never knew exactly what they were , very similar to spagbol sarnies .

We make "spoon burgers" which is very similar to your recipe. It's a Campbell's soup recipe and thus has undiluted chicken gumbo soup instead of brown gravy. I think the gravy would taste better.

In my childhood my mother made this on summer Saturdays. She added an 1/8 of a teaspoon of cinnamon. A great sandwich.
