Ancient Chinese Secret Sloppy Joes image

So you want the secret-eh? To be honest, it's not Chinese but Vietnamese, and it's not ancient, only about 25 years old. I love it because it's American born, American made. With a story straight out of Chinatown, Huy Fong Chili Garlic sauce is one of my favorite ingredients. It's incredibly versatile and IMO absolutely essential to any respectable chef's kitchen. I also call these "Firecracker Sloppy Joe's" depending on how hot I'm making them. This recipe is FANTASTIC for a party. Double or triple it depending on your guest list. You can make it hours ahead of time and let it simmer all day in the crock pot. Throw some buns out and let the guests spoon on the "joes". Rave reviews. Guaranteed.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sloppy joes turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I usually make a double batch and freeze half for later.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The sauce is amazing and the beef is always tender and juicy.

This recipe is a keeper! It's quick, easy, and delicious. I love that I can use ground beef or turkey, depending on what I have on hand.

So easy and so good! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it turned out great. I also added some chopped green peppers and onions.

I was skeptical at first because I'm not a big fan of sloppy joes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sauce is delicious and the beef is cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

Fantastic recipe! I've made it twice now and my whole family loves it. The sauce is tangy and flavorful and the beef is tender and juicy. I especially like that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze.
