Our BBQ Sloppy Joes are not your average sloppy joe recipe.
Instead of using a tomato paste base with brown sugar, this one is loaded with bbq sauce and tasty green peppers, lean ground beef, and diced onions that the whole family will love.
Since this recipe does not have the Worcestershire sauce, you will get those delicious sweet flavors in your bbq turkey sloppy joes, that might just make a big hit at home and turn this into a new family favorite sloppy joes recipe.
Ingredient Notes
- Ground beef (or ground turkey or ground chicken)
- Diced onion
- Green pepper diced (or red pepper will work too!)
- Barbeque sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
- Hamburger buns
How to make BBQ Sloppy Joes:
- Brown meat in a saucepan over medium heat.
- After meat is almost cooked through, add onion and pepper and saute for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are soft.
- Add barbecue sauce and warm on the stovetop until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
- Serve on hamburger buns.
Storing and Other Tips
To Store, let the sloppy joes cool down fully before transferring to an airtight container and storing in the fridge. Leftovers will last 3-4 days. You can reheat either in the microwave, or using the stovetop.
Here are some add on ideas to make this sandwich even better:
- Creamy coleslaw
- More bbq sauce (we love the sweet baby ray’s barbecue sauce)
