Pin This RecipeThese sloppy Joes are miles better than the canned stuff — a sweet, tangy, slightly smoky sauce clings to seasoned ground beef on soft, toasted buns.
The sauce gets its depth from ketchup, Worcestershire, brown sugar, and a touch of mustard.
Serve with pickles and potato chips for the ultimate comfort meal.
