how to make Heinz Sloppy Joe

  • Saute The Garlic: Turn on the stove and put a nonstick pan on it. Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the pan, and heat it on medium-high heat. Now add the vegetables one by one. Add finely chopped garlic, stir and fry it for a minute.

  • Add Vegetables: Add ¼ cup of chopped celery, ¼ cup of chopped bell pepper, and ¼ cup of chopped onion. Stir and saute it until it turns soft. If you want to use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic, add the powder at this point when the vegetables have sauteed. It’s time to season with ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir and fry for a minute.

How To Store Heinz Sloppy Joe

Well it’s not good news if you want to store Heinz sloppy joe, because it’s not good to eat this or any burger after four hours pass. But if you put it in the refrigerator keeping it in an airtight container within two hours of making it, the good news, is you can eat it for up to 4 days. But the problem is reheating. You know in Heinz’s sloppy joe, everything is messy, so disassembling, reheating, and then again putting together is not possible. You can just put some fresh veggies and a little freshly made sauce, and enjoy it. But if you have an oven, you can be happy. Just put the Heinz sloppy joe in the oven and reheat it for 3-5 minutes. Enjoy it without any mess. But keep in mind, it won’t taste like before, so avoid storing this type of messy or sauce-contained food.

Tips And Tricks

  • To make the Heinz sloppy joe healthier you can add more veggies. No restriction, add as much as you want. Sometimes I add avocado, so you can try adding healthy fruits as well.
  • You can use chicken or pork anything you have.
  • If you don’t want it to become too spicy reduce the amount of chili sauce. 
  • If you have hot and spicy Heinz sloppy joe, add cayenne pepper. Cayenne pepper has a super hot and spicey flavor.
  • Heinz sloppy joe is a messy burger, so no need of paying too much attention to assembling it. Just put some of the fillings inside, and serve it. 

Frequently Asked Question

Do you drain meat before adding Sloppy Joe sauce?
Yes, I drain meat before adding sloppy joe sauce. Because the sauce is enough to cook the meat, and it will make the meat more delicious. Meat-leaved water will give you a watery taste, not the sauce taste, so you have to drain it.

How do you make sloppy joes thicker?
Making sloppy joe sauce thicker is very simple. Add one tablespoon of cornstarch or cornflour to a bowl, add one tablespoon of water, and mix well. Now pour this mixture into the sloppy joe and continue stirring. Sloppy joe will get thicker in just a minute.  

What can I use instead of tomato paste in Sloppy Joes?
Well, you can’t use anything other than tomato in sloppy joe. But you can add another version of tomato, like tomato sauce or tomato puree instead of tomato paste. Or fresh diced tomatoes will also work, but tomatoes should be there, not anything else.
