What is a Sloppy Joe sandwich?

The sloppy joe sandwich is a mixture of ground beef,cooked with onions, tomato sauce or ketchup and Worcestershire sauce and other seasonings too. This saucy beef mixture is typically served on a hamburger bun.

Where does Sloppy Joe originate from?

Also referred to as a “loose meat sandwich”, the sloppy joe’s origin is said to be associated with a cook named Joe in Souix City, Iowa. Back in the 1930’s, Joe added tomato sauce to his loose meat sandwiches and the “Sloppy Joe’ was born. Although there are several stories of the origin of this sandwich making it’s origin somewhat “sloppy” and who really knows the true origin?

Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 2 Tbs. packed brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tube (16.3 ounces) refrigerated Grands biscuits
  • 1 Tbs. butter , melted
  • ½ tsp. sesame seeds , optional
Instructions
  1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground beef, onion, garlic, kosher salt and pepper until beef is browned, stirring occasionally.

  2. Stir in tomato sauce, brown sugar and Worcestershire and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and let mixture cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. I recommend transferring mixture to a bowl to cool faster than keeping it in the skillet.

  4. Preheat oven to 350F.
  5. On lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit dough into a 5 1/2″ diameter circle.
  6. Arrange filling (about a heaping ¼ cup per pocket) in lower center of each dough circle to within 1-inch of edge.
  7. Fold dough over filling to make a pocket and seal edges with fork.
  8. Arrange pockets a baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
  9. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden and baked through.

    I think I’m going to make these for dinner!
    Do you cook your onions while browning the meat or do you wait and add them in step 2?

    Hi Kelly, thank you so very much for your question. That was actually a typo and I just went in and corrected it! I cook the onions together with the ground beef, garlic, kosher salt and pepper, in the first step of the recipe. I am so happy that you pointed that out to me! It’s all fixed now. Happy cooking and I’d love to hear how they turn out for you! Savor the Moments, Gwynn
