These are so good, sometimes I will make them at home and then freeze up little containers. Then, for lunches and snacks I can thaw out a single portion for me or one of my kids. That way, you don’t always have to make a great big pan of sloppy joes in order to enjoy one or two. They reheat really nicely and hold for quite some time in the freezer. It’s definitely a family favorite! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Spend With Pennies:
“I find that the beef is more tender and the flavor is better if it’s simmered all day.”
If you have the time, this is the way to do sloppy joes for sure!
