I’m pretty sure I’ve been ruined for life for any other Sloppy Joe recipe. This is originally my Dad’s recipe. (I have no idea if he got it from someone or if he made it up) We had this All.The.Time. Family functions, birthdays, game days. Especially game days. It became a staple. My friends have had this numerous times. It’s just a thing.
My dad has always made them, but I decided to take the reigns and learn how to make them as well. The only problem is that we literally had no measurements. It was just a list of ingredients with no rhyme or reason. But my friends started asking for the recipe, so I figured I needed to finally write down the actual measurements.
With that said, this is still a recipe that you will taste and add, taste and add depending on your preferences. I like mine a little sweeter. Shocker. So I usually add a little more brown sugar. You might like yours with a little more vinegar flavor. (think North Carolina barbecue sauce). So you do you.
You gotta give this recipe a try for the next big game day, but don’t expect a lot of leftovers. These go fast!

Sloppy Joes
Classic Sloppy Joes. Sweet and a bit vinegary and super easy to make. A classic for a comfort dinner or a day of football.
Ingredients
2 lbs Hamburger
1 Onion, chopped
4 Celery Stalks, chopped
1 cup Ketchup
4 Tablespoons Butter
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
3 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
4 Tablespoons White Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Mustard
Instructions
- Brown hamburger over med/high heat. Once browned, drain off any excess grease. Return to heat and reduce to medium/low.
- Add the chopped onion and celery. Then add all other ingredients, stir and heat for about 2 minutes.
- Taste test time. Add brown sugar for more sweetness or vinegar to add a little more sour taste, whatever your preference. I like mine a little on the sweet side, but that’s probably no surprise. Just be sure to add a little bit at a time, a little goes a long way.
- Cover and allow to simmer on low for at least an hour. The longer it simmers, the better the flavor.
- Serve on buns as a sandwich or open face (my personal favorite). Enjoy our family’s favorite sloppy joe recipe!
