For many years this easy Sloppy Joe recipe was one that I made when I needed a quick meal that I knew would please everyone.  I would cook up the ingredients for these sloppy joes then place it in a crock pot and turn it on low.

Don’t Make it Hard: Make it Easy Sloppy Joes

When my kids were younger, it seemed I lived in my car as a chauffeur running my kids to all their after school activities.  I really do miss those days, but with that kind of busy schedule, it was nice to have dinner ready and waiting when we got home!

I’ve tried many sloppy Joe recipes over the years, but none of them have matched up to this recipe. These are the best Sloppy Joes ever!!! Both I and my children (and grandchildren) will all vouch for that.

Sometimes I think we assume that the more complicated a recipe is the better it will taste….well I am here to testify that sometimes easy is better. Especially in a world that’s increasingly more fast-paced and demanding on our time. These sloppy joes are a perfect example!

To make these chicken gumbo sloppy joes, I started by dumping a pound of lean ground beef into a large saute pan over medium-high heat.

I added some diced yellow onions to the pan with the ground beef.

I crumbled the ground beef well as it cooked.

Once the ground beef was fully cooked, I drained the grease from the pan.

Then I added a can of Campbell’s condensed chicken gumbo soup to the pan.

I also added some yellow mustard, ketchup, salt, pepper and onion powder to the pan.

I stirred all of the ingredients together well.

I left the mixture to simmer until the liquid in the pan thickened.

I placed four brioche buns in single layer on a baking sheet.

I toasted the buns for 5 minutes in a 400F oven.

Then I spooned the sloppy joe mixture onto the buns.

Then the gumbo sloppy joes were ready to serve.

These easy sloppy joes are packed with flavour.
