Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your sloppy joes will taste. This is especially important for the ground beef, tomatoes, and onions.
- Brown the ground beef well: Browning the ground beef until it's nice and brown will help to develop its flavor and give your sloppy joes a richer taste.
- Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what makes sloppy joes so delicious, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Let the flavors meld: After you've assembled your sloppy joes, let them sit for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve on toasted buns: Toasted buns will help to hold up to the sloppy joes and prevent them from getting soggy.
