When you think of sloppy joe's, Manwich probably comes to mind. While I may have had a can or two of Manwich in my day, my favorite kind of sloppy joe's is definitely my Nannah's. Not only is this sloppy joe recipe easy to make, it's also easy on the wallet. The sauce is so simple, I bet you have all the ingredients in your pantry. All you will need is a pound of ground beef, hamburger buns, ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. All together, this meal cost me just under $4 and it made 6 sloppy joes.
Start by browning your beef in a skillet on medium-high heat.
While your meat is browning, mix together your ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard.
Once your meat is cooked all the way through, turn your heat to low and add your sauce. Put a cover on it and let it simmer for several minutes.
After letting simmer, give it a quick stir and it is ready to serve! You can serve it on the bun alone, with cheese like my dad prefers, with diced onions like PC loves, or with crushed Doritos which is my personal favorite. Enjoy!
