Why make Homemade Sloppy Joes? It’s easy to just buy a can at the store and mix it in with some cooked ground beef, but it’s so simple to make yourself and the taste so much better.
This is my go-to sloppy Joe recipe. Liquid smoke is the key ingredient here.
It could not be easier to throw these together, and they are a real family pleaser. They would be great for a football party too!
This recipe is not quite as quick as opening a can but once you try it you will agree the taste is well worth it!
