How to make sloppy joes: try this simple 3-ingredient recipe

Here’s all you need to make these sloppy joes with just 3 ingredients at home:

Filling ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef or Beyond Beef
• ½ cup Heinz barbecue sauce
• ¾ cup Old El Paso salsa

Instructions

1. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add your ground beef and cook until fully cooked, 5-10 minutes, stirring often.
3. Stir in your barbecue sauce and salsa, and mix until combined and fully warmed through.
4. Serve on your favorite hamburger buns from Wonder or Nature’s Own, and enjoy!

That’s it!

And if you don’t have salsa or barbecue sauce handy, you can modify the recipe and instead use the following, all of which you surely have in your fridge and cupboard:

• â…› cup Heinz mustard
• ½ cup Heinz ketchup (or tomato sauce)
• â…› cup brown sugar

The prep is the same as above, although I’d suggest letting this mixture simmer on low heat for 4-5 minutes before serving.
