I usually make these the night before we are going to have them, and then stick them in the fridge overnight. In the morning I put them in the slow cooker and keep them on low. We can snack on them throughout the day or have them for dinner and they taste better than they did fresh! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Recipe Lion:
“This recipe for Best Homemade Sloppy Joes is a fool-proof method of making the homemade ground beef sandwiches.”
Two pounds of ground beef make a pretty hefty portion. For smaller families, you can cut the ingredients list in half and still have plenty to make everyone happy. Just be sure to whip up a side dish or two and your meal is done.
