I don’t make up my own recipes very often. There is a reason this is not a food blog. I cook simple stuff that I just feel isn’t brag worthy.
Then, the other day I made this meal that I just loved! I took a Sloppy Joe recipe I found and married it to my mother in law’s meatloaf sauce recipe and made these. They are sweet and tangy and finger lickin’ good!
And I do things the easy way. I use frozen chopped onions instead of fresh, canned (jarred?) garlic, and Green Giant Steamers for the veggies. Told ya I don’t cook!
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1/4 bag chopped frozen onion
3 cloves garlic pressed
Salt
For the sauce:
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons liquid smoke
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
Directions
Brown the meat with the onions and garlic. Drain. Add the meat to the sauce, serve on hamburger buns of your choice!
Steam the veggies in the microwave, place on plate and eat!
Seriously, so easy and oh so yummy!!
Yum the sauce sounds yummy. We make homemade sloppy joes all the time!
Oddly enough, my husband doesn’t like them, but me and the kids sure do!
This is RIGHT up my alley Annie!! (A reason my blog isn’t food related as well LOL!)
Thanks for sharing this one 🙂
LOL Marcie, so glad I am not the only “non cooker” blogger. I go to so many blogs with delicious but difficult to make meals and I am like, “um, not me.” I hope your family enjoys this!
I love the idea of using liquid smoke!
The liquid smoke is what makes it almost taste like BBQ sauce. My MIL shared that secret with me :
YUMMY!

What the heck is liquid smoke? Sounds like a yummy recipe but I’m lost as to what that is.
In my grocery store it is near the BBQ sauce and salad dressings. It is a liquid that adds a smokey flavor to whatever you put it on 😉 I never knew this product existed until I met my mother in law. It is a must have for homemade BBQ sauce!
Definitely going to check it out. Thanks for the yummy recipe and for enlightening me on what liquid smoke is. 🙂
Ooh, I love sloppy Joe’s…bad girl, I gave up meat for Lent and you are TEMPTING ME! lol…I can’t wait until next week.
This sounds and looks delicious! I’m really in the mood for sloppy joes and can’t wait to try this recipe!
Wow, you actually make your own sloppy joe sauce? Way to go! I’m a lazy Mamwich mom. lol
These look yummy. I have not had sloppy joes in a while.
yummmmm!!
