Sloppy Joe – A Recipe From My Childhood

I am excited to share my Mom’s Sloppy Joes.  I cannot tell you how much I love these.  Not only are the quick & easy, they taste GREAT as well.  I feel like I am back in time whenever I eat these.  These are a staple in our household.  I always have the ingredients on hand.  A1, check.  Sweet pickle relish, check.  Always ground beef in the freezer.  Whenever I make these, I add the Heinz chili sauce to the grocery list.  That way I’m always stocked.

What to serve with these?  At our house, my youngest will scream tater tots.  The ones I make for these, I confess, come out of a bag.  I will be sharing a great homemade version very soon.  My mom would always have a salad.  We had salad with every meal.  For some reason, salads always taste better when someone else makes them.  I try to add something healthier as a side, but when I am making these, I am either in a crunch for time or missing my Mom.  Either way, I don’t want anything very challenging.

Sloppy Joes are such a comfort food.  This one won’t disappoint.  I will be sharing so many of my Mom’s recipes.  She was always such a great cook.  What was so amazing about everything she cooked, it always tasted like it HAD to be difficult.  Often, the recipes required only a few ingredients.  They ALWAYS tasted AMAZING.

So, I am a bit biased.  I hope you have the opportunity to try these and if you do, be sure and send me a picture or link to your social media where you posted it.  I look forward to hearing from you!

Recipe Tips:

• • • Be sure and drain the meat before adding your ingredients, if needed.
    • Adjust the relish to taste.  My dad never liked relish, so my mom would cut it back.
    • I’ve tried some off-brand chili sauce, it doesn’t taste the same.  I highly recommend Heinz for this one.
    • If you can’t find the chili sauce in your store, you can find it here at Amazon.  I am an affiliate with Amazon and may get an incentive if you buy here.
