You guys, it’s our first official “school night” of the year!
How did that happen so quickly?!
Tonight, we’re back to bed times, alarms being set, lunches prepped and ready to go, computers charged, backpacks packed, and schedules, schedules, schedules.
I’m sharing THINGS I’M LETTING GO today and should you need to be letting go of difficult dinners, here you go 🙂 .
My SLOPPY JOE BOWLS are easy, family friendly, can be made in advance, kept warm in the slow cooker, and are perfect for busy school nights.
Don’t forget, I also have OLD FASHIONED SLOPPY JOES, SLOPPY JOE POT PIES, SLOPPY JOE SPUDS, KING RANCH JOES, FRENCH ONION JOES, MAPLE BOURBON SLOPPY JOES , and JACK-O-LANTERN JOES too!

Sloppy Joe Bowls
- Prep Time: 8 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 13 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Description
Looking for a twist on the traditional Sloppy Joe? Try our bowls! This meal can be on the table in under 15 minutes! Bonus, they’re also gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon spicy mustard (you can use regular deli mustard if you prefer)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- about ½ cup prepared and ready to eat rice per person (we love heating up frozen rice!)
- chopped green onions to garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown up your ground beef in a drizzle of EVOO until it’s crumbly. Stir in a nice pinch of both salt and pepper along with your garlic powder.
- Next, stir in your tomato sauce, spicy mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring everything up to a simmer and let it hang out about five minutes.
- After your mixture has simmered, time to build your bowl. Take your rice and add it to a bowl along with a scoop of Sloppy Joe mixture and then garnish with a bit of chopped green onion.
Notes
This meal is so easy to double (or triple!). Don’t forget, make sure you check your Worcestershire sauce for gluten if you’re eating g-free. Also, if you need to make this in advance, no problem! Simply keep it warm in your slow cooker until you’re ready to make your rice and serve. This is a great make ahead recipe for busy weeknights.
