GRANDMA'S BEST-EVER SLOPPY JOES
This recipe came from my grandma--one of the few we found written down! I grew up eating these sloppy joes as a kid and now my own kids love them too. Add the oatmeal in small portions and slowly--it doesn't take a whole lot. If you choose, you can also used minced onion to taste--works well if you need to cook more quickly!

Steps:
- Cook ground beef and chopped onion. Drain fat off meat. Add back to large pan. Add remaining ingredients. Mix. Reduce heat to low and cook 40 minutes. Serve with fresh bakery buns.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef. Use a lean ground beef, such as 80/20 or 90/10, to avoid a greasy sloppy joe.
- Brown the beef thoroughly. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of seasonings. A good sloppy joe sauce should have a balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Experiment with different combinations of spices and herbs to find a flavor profile that you enjoy.
- Don't be afraid to add vegetables. Adding vegetables to your sloppy joes is a great way to sneak in some extra nutrition. Try adding chopped onions, bell peppers, or carrots.
- Use a good quality bun. The bun is an important part of the sloppy joe experience. Choose a bun that is sturdy enough to hold up to the sauce and meat, but soft enough to be enjoyable to eat.
- Serve with your favorite toppings. Sloppy joes are a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular choices include cheese, coleslaw, and pickles.
