Paula Deen Sloppy Joes Recipe

I’m excited to share Paula Deen's Sloppy Joes recipe with you. This dish is a hit every time I make it for the fam!
Its rich, savory, and hearty flavor is what my eaters say is hard to resist.
It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual weekend meal.
A key tip is to let the meat simmer long enough to soak up all the delicious flavors. Don't rush this step—it really makes a difference.
For an extra touch, toast the buns lightly before serving (if that's your thing of course!).
