Root Beer Sloppy Joes make an easy, quick family meal that you can have on the table in no time. The root beer gives the sloppy joe mixture a slightly sweet, caramel flavor. They taste great served with sweet potato fries.
These homemade sloppy joes are so much better than sloppy joes made from a can.
Root Beer Sloppy Joes are on the sweet side and have so much flavor. They really take sloppy joes to a whole new level.
Onion and green pepper get cooked with some lean ground beef. Then a whole bunch of seasonings get added for lots of flavor: chili powder, garlic and onion powder, dried thyme, dry mustard, and salt and pepper. Plus ketchup and 1/2 a cup of root beer. Simmer everything for about 10 minutes and your meal is ready!
I like to serve this sloppy joe mixture on a bun, but it also makes a great topping for baked potatoes.
