Tips:

  • Use a variety of ground meats. You can use ground beef, ground turkey, or a mixture of both. If you're using ground turkey, be sure to brown it well so that it's not dry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When browning the meat, be sure to do it in batches so that the meat doesn't steam. This will help to ensure that the meat is browned and not gray.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes sloppy joes special. You can use a bottled sauce or make your own. If you're using a bottled sauce, be sure to doctor it up with some additional spices and seasonings.
  • Toast the buns. Toasting the buns will help them to hold up better to the sloppy joe sauce. You can toast the buns in the oven, on a grill, or in a toaster.
  • Load up the sloppy joes. Don't be shy with the sloppy joe sauce. Load up the buns with plenty of sauce and meat. You can also add other toppings such as cheese, onions, and pickles.
