Southern Living’s Quick Fix Sloppy Joes (and my Wardrobe Malfunction)
If you’re on FB, please click the like button above, thanks!
I don’t know what it was about the day I filmed this but we were all feeling a little silly. The studio just had humor in the air and as you watch this video you can see that I’m trying not to laugh! I have made a lot of fantastic recipes in this Quick Fix Supper series but I gotta tell ya, I’m a simple gal and these Sloppy Joes are one of my absolute favorites. They were SO GOOD.
Oh, about the wardrobe malfunction…
Towards the middle of the video, as I was talking and we were filming, I looked down and PLOP, one of my earrings fell right into the middle of the skillet! I remember saying something like “Oh! there’s my earring!” and then we cut so I could get it out and keep on rolling! I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed filming it.

I should fix some sloppy joes for my hubby. He just commented the other day about liking them and we haven’t had them in a really long time. I probably won’t be wearing earrings when I fix mine, tho.
Sloppy Joes seem to be a universal favorite. Your version is quite different from the way we make them in my locale. We brown hamburger meat with diced onion and then stir in a bit of ketchup, a spoonful of mustard, chili powder, salt and pepper and a can of chicken gumbo soup, undiluted. Stir and simmer till cooked to the consistency you like. We sell these at many community events. A few spoonfuls are often put on a hot dog to make it a chili dog. Add cheese and it is a chili cheese dog. Good and simple eating.
I’ve always wanted to try them that way!
I want to make this too! I probably won’t be wearing earrings either, but ya never know…
Love sloppy joes! Thanks for keeping it real Christy!!
~giggles~ Thanks Steph!! I hope you enjoy them!
I make my sloppy joes by browning the hamburger, adding chopped onions and a green pepper, and letting this cook a few minutes. When the vegetables are done, add as much bottled barbeque sauce as you like and then let it simmer for awhile. My favorite sauce is Sonny’s. Oh, this is so good and easy.
That sounds delicious Molly!! Thanks for sharing!!
YUMMMMMMMMM!!!!! I was looking, but never saw the earring fall…drat! LOL Can’t wait to fix these
)
I just laid out hamburger to make Sloppy Joes, and then I found this!!!
LOL Your recipe looks really GOOD!!
I hope you enjoy them Christi!!!
I could tell that you were trying not to laugh, thats cute
I have made sloppy joes many ways, last time I used the package of sloppy joe mix and just followed directions on the package but added seasonings to the ground beef, onion powder, minced onion & garlic , etc…really good!
It was a fun day, and so funny!! I hope you get the opportunity to try these and hope you like them!!
Ha, I’m glad your wardrobe malfunction wasn’t something more embarrassing AND that you saw the earring go in! Imagine if some bit into it, yipes. The sloppy joes look good too, who doesn’t like sloppy joes?
You and me both!!
We love sloppy joes and I’ve just started making my own sauce instead of using the can. The difference is just unreal! Can’t wait to try this one!
These are so good Lori, I think you are going to really like them!!
I love Sloppy Joes. Thanks for another simple recipe to make my life a little
easier!!! Will be making these tonight. Thanks so much.
Are you collecting a blooper reel? Might be a fun remembrance for you and your family to celebrate your fame!
What a great recipe! Can’t wait to give this a try. I love the idea of using pickle relish instead! I never would of thought of doing that.
Yum. We love sloppy joes. However, I want to see the blooper where your earring falls into the skillet~ LOL.
So awesome! I love it. sloppy joe’s with a kick and I love the toasted bread tip.
Hi Christy!! Just wanted to say i am gonna try this version of yours!! My old standby of many many yrs is this one>>hamburger,chopped gr pepper and onion,salt pepper,sm can tomato sauce,1/2 c catsup,sprinkle of worcestershire sauce,1Tbl each of brown sugar and vinegar and a pinch of dry mustard (which I usually end up squeezing in a bit of yellow mustard instead) Soooooo good!!
Hey, Christy. I really enjoyed watching you make this, I think this is what’s for supper tomorrow night. Can’t wait to trying it. Hope you have a wonderful day! P.S. Wish y’all would show a couple of bloopers for us to watch…that would be so funny
Thank you ao much Katherine, I hope you have a wonderful day too!! Maybe one day the will release some of the bloopers, we will just have to see.
