Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your sloppy joes more flavor and texture. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and corn.
  • Roast your vegetables. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables and gives them a smoky flavor. To roast your vegetables, simply toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and then roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes sloppy joes special. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own sauce, be sure to use a variety of spices and herbs to give it flavor.
  • Cook your sloppy joes slowly. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a delicious, hearty meal. Simmer your sloppy joes for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Serve your sloppy joes on a bun. Sloppy joes are traditionally served on a bun, but you can also serve them on bread, crackers, or even tortilla chips.
