Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or canned cranberries.
  • Cook the cranberries until they burst. This will release their juices and create a more flavorful sauce.
  • Add a little bit of sweetness to the sauce. This can be done with sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • Use a good quality ground beef. This will make your sloppy joes more flavorful and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the ground beef. Overcooked ground beef is tough and dry.
  • Use a flavorful bun. This will help to hold all of the ingredients together and make your sloppy joes more enjoyable to eat.

Conclusion:

Cranberry sloppy joes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce. With their sweet and savory flavor, cranberry sloppy joes are sure to be a hit with the whole family.
