I remember as a kid having Sloppy Joe’s A Lot.
I’m pretty sure they were the canned variety.
Until I created this recipe for Sweetbay Supermarket , I always used the canned Sloppy Joe sauce too.
But let me tell you, making the sauce from scratch is not only WAY better than the can, but it is also really really easy!!!
And how fun is it to make those Sloppy Joe’s opened faced? And on some cheesy Texas Toast!!! Much better than a boring ol’ bun.
In my opinion, you just can’t serve these old school sandwiches without corn on the cob. That would be like having grilled cheese without tomato soup. It’s illegal I think.
What really put this meal over the top is that is feeds a family of four, takes less than 20 minutes to cook AND it’s only $10!!!!!!!

LOVE sloppy joes of any kind. I just made our chipotle sloppy joe’s the other night and am posting it in the next few weeks. They’re just so easy and yummy! I love your version and I love that they’re so cheap to make!
I grew up with the same and never really liked it. However, these look super delish. I may have to try these. My husband has been asking me to make them.
i love sloppy joes, and the fact that they are inexpensive makes them even better!
I made these last night for dinner and everyone loved them! Thank you for the recipe!
Oh wonderful!!! I am glad everyone enjoyed them!
This sounds yummy! I’ve never tried making my own sauce. And on cheese texas toast?! Mmmm!
