Sloppy Joes are my DH's favourite, they were a birthday staple as he grew up. His Mom told me how she made them. He turned 62 last year and this was his request for supper on his birthday.
brown 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, drain the fat. Add an onion and celery and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the veggies are soft. Add 1 can chicken gumbo soup, 1/2 can chili sauce, a good squirt of mustard, simmer for 10 minutes or so (or longer). Serve on buns or toast with pickles and potato chips.

KimmerB and a few others had very similar recipes so I think I'm going to try it first. I'm also lazy, so I'm going to put the Manwich & ground beef in 2nd place. Rainbow66 & quilter1 both use chicken gumbo in their sloppy joes. Sounds like an interesting twist. Moved this recipe up to 3rd place.

Keep the recipes coming!

I brown one pound of ground beef and onions, add a large can of tomato sauce and heat through. Then put it on a bun with some pickle relish - yum!

Manwich LOL!!

Use Manwich, i love it and it comes in a can, fast and easy and yummy

2 lbs. hamburger, 2/3 of a 14 oz. bottle catsup, 1 T. worcestershire or to your tast. Brown hamburger , drain, add remaining ingredients,NOW FOR THE SECRET........ 7up soda ( must be 7up regurlar ) to get the sloppy part just as you like it. simmer and spoon onto hamburger buns. Drink rest of 7up as you simmer to the thickness you like

My recipe is from my Junior high/High school days. The cooks called them "beefburgers." Still my favorite way for a sloppy Joe. Brown ground beef,drain, add a couple tablespoons of mustard and ketchup, more of either, depending on your taste preference, add one can CHICKEN GUMBO soup, no water. Let simmer til heated well. Serve on buns. You can pick up but a fork is handy for the drops. Love them!!

I make it all of the time.....Ground beef, Onions, catsup, regular yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar. The catsup, mustard, worcestershire sauce and brown sugar is to taste. (it does take a lot of catsup) I don't care for the mustard taste so I use very little.......My secret is when you brown your ground beef and onions.....add salt and peper and at least 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. When you drain your meat you lose a lot the garlic.....I have made it with and without the garlic and everybody says without the garlic...it is just missing something.

Wow, a co-worker gave me her recipe for sloppy joes that I loved, but lost the recipe. Actually, I think I lost it before I got home. Anyway, they were the best sloppy joes EVER! The only ingredient I remember was ginger ale. This has got to be it. The next time I make sloppy joes I'm going to give this one a shot.

Thanks for sharing!
