Create delicious summer memories with Easy Sloppy Joes. They make a quick and simple summertime dinner that everyone will love!
Here’s to Easy Summer Dinners!
If you’re a child of the 80s, your summer food memories probably include the following: PB&J lunches, twin pops on the front steps, and sloppy Joes for dinner. Am I right? During summer break, we weren’t always ready to quit playing in the backyard when dinner came. But if mom said sloppy joes were on the menu, that was different story! We’d drop what we were doing and run inside to wash up. I loved the saucy meat and the soft, white bread bun. I wanted to recreate some of that summer magic with my Easy Sloppy Joes recipe. And I think I succeeded! They’re messy and delicious, just as they should be. And super easy to make. In under 30 minutes, you can serve up a core memory the whole family will love.
A pound of ground beef, a can of tomato puree, some basic spices and you have the makings of a family-favorite. Add some thick dill pickle slices and a bag of potato chips and you’ve got yourself a total winner.
How to Make Easy Sloppy J0es
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until dark brown, about 10 minutes.
Add the chili powder and garlic salt. Stir until the meat is well coated. Add the tomato puree and stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer and then reduce heat and serve.
Serve on soft buns or slider buns with potato chips and pickles on the side. Enjoy!

Holy cow! So good. Reminds me of the sloppy joe’s I had growing up. My kids loved them! Especially my 4-year-old, as evident from his stained clothes and even carpet 🤦♂️ do you have any stain removal tips? 😂
