A quick, easy recipe that is packed with flavor. Make the sauce ahead of time and have these barbecue sloppy joes on the table in 15 minutes.
There are certain meals that I think should be really simple and quick. Sloppy joes are one of them. Years ago I used to like the barbecue flavored Manwich sauce. It was just so convenient for dinner in a hurry. However, not only has it not been in stores where I live for years, I wanted to have a recipe from scratch that could come together easily. My sloppy joe sauce is quick and easy to make and ready to eat in 15 minutes or less.
Heat up your frying pan and brown the ground beef with the onions and garlic. While that is browning whisk together the sauce ingredients. Drain the ground beef if necessary and mix in the sauce. Let the sauce heat up with the meat for a moment and serve on buns of your choice!

Description
A quick, easy recipe that is packed with flavor. Make the sauce ahead of time and have these barbecue sloppy joes on the table in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup finely chopped Onions
- 1/2 tsp minced Garlic (I just add one frozen garlic cube)
- 2 lbs Ground Beef, thawed
- 1 (8 oz) can Tomato Sauce
- 2/3 Cup Barbeque Sauce of your choice
- 1/3 Cup Ketchup
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Celery Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Ground Mustard
Instructions
- Heat up a frying pan and brown the ground beef with the onions and garlic.
- While the meat is browning, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
- Drain the ground beef if necessary, stir in the sauce and let it heat up for just a moment.
- Remove from heat and serve on your choice of buns.
Notes
This sauce freezes really well. I often double or triple the recipe and freeze it. I don’t always need the amount of sloppy joe that 2 lbs. of ground beef makes so I only brown 1 lb of beef, stir in half the sauce and freeze the other half of the sauce.
