Sloppy joes are a classic dinner dish that can be made in less than 30 minutes. Instead of using a canned sloppy joe mix, these sloppy joes are made with a homemade ketchup brown sugar sauce. The sandwiches cook up quick, making these great for a busy weeknight dinner. Everyone loves these sloppy sandwiches with tons of tomato flavor and slightly sweet with the brown sugar. Serve with potato wedges or your favorite chips for a fast and easy dinner.
From start to finish, these sloppy joes take about 20 minutes to get on your table. Start with browning ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the beef, breaking it up as it cooks until it is no longer pink. Drain and return the beef to the skillet. Add the ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar and seasonings to the skillet and allow it to cook for a couple more minutes. Until the sauce is heated through and thickened. Serve your sloppy joes in hamburger buns.
