Homemade Cola Sloppy Joes
Does your family love sloppy joes for dinner? Preparing your ground beef with your favorite cola will add an extra fun flavor to this traditional recipe! It is SO easy to make on your stove top, too!!
How do I make Homemade Cola Sloppy Joes?
Grab your ground chuck and your onion. Ground beef of any sort or even ground turkey will work for this recipe. Use what you have, mama. Dice up the onion and add the meat and diced onion to your skillet or your funky old pan.
Break the meat into clumps as you brown it. When the meat is brown and the onion is soft, remove from heat then drain. Add back to the skillet with the remaining ingredients. Stir together then bring it all to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve on hoagie rolls, hamburger rolls, or toasted bread.
What sides go with sloppy joes?
We love to have tater tots, french fries, or even just carrot sticks with ours. If you’re feeling fancy, whip up some cheesy asparagus or thaw out some twice baked potatoes. There really isn’t anything that can’t go with homemade cola sloppy joes.
Is Manwich and sloppy joes the same thing?
You betcha. Manwich is just the brand name recipe you can buy in stores produced by Con Agra foods. If your people like Manwiches then they will like sloppy joes. You will like it because homemade is usually a more frugal option than store bought.
