Homemade Sloppy Joe Mix

No need to buy the cans of sloppy joe mix (with funky ingredients), when you can make it yourself with spices that you probably already have in the pantry, plus a can of tomato sauce…give it whirl and let me know what you think! (As always, add spices to taste and salt and pepper to taste!) Cooked sloppy joe meat is easy to freeze, thaw, and serve quickly!

    I’ve made my own sloppy joe sauce adding ketchup, mustard, onion & garlic powder. Sometimes tomato sauce & can add onion & green pepper to the hamburger or sauce & a little salt & pepper & anya little spice or your choice. Can even add little salsa sauce or taco sauce if you’d like.
