It is National Sloppy Joe Day.......
So back to Sloppy Joes. Let's see what the other Festive Foodies are sharing.......
Celebrating National Sloppy Joe Day!
We love Sloppy Joes and we love pasta so this dish was a win/win for the family. It was a win/win/win for me because it is all made in one skillet so cleanup is easy peasy.
I have shared a lot of Sloppy Joe recipes over the years. There is my go to recipe that I make whenever I am serving a crowd. I have turned them into tacos, and I have made them with duck. I have tossed it with macaroni before but that was using leftover Sloppy Joe meat. It was delicious too but this recipe doesn't require leftovers. It is an intentional pairing of Sloppy Joes and Pasta.

How to cook One Skillet Sloppy Joe Pasta
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over med high heat. Add the onions and cook for a few minutes until they start to soften. Add the garlic and ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the ground beef with a wooden spoon, until browned.
- Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Stir in the tomato paste.
- Add the beef broth and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, cover and cook for 10 minutes, until most of the broth is absorbed.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until pasta is cooked to your liking. This took about 5 minutes for the pasta I chose to use.
- Pour into a serving bowl and sprinkle with the cheese.

Totally love this idea. Reminds me of Cincinnati chili but better
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've had Cincinnati Chili. Is it just chili mac?
DeleteI love the idea of SJs over pasta. The best of both worlds!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Dorothy.
DeleteOK...Total comfort food here (which we all need a lot of right now). I have a "loose meat" recipe that feeds a TON and when I make it I always use the leftovers in chili. Thanks for making me aware of Sloppy Joe Day!
ReplyDeleteHope you join us next year Deb.
DeleteThis is really making me hungry for pasta! Corned beef sloppy joes sound interesting too. You'll have to come back to that one soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, I need to make another corned beef as soon as I am able to get my brother over for his birthday dinner and I think that is what I will do with any leftovers.
DeleteThis sounds like a super comfy dish. We love Sloppy Joes so this should be fun to try!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll love it Liz.
DeleteThat does sound delicious. I'm going to have to visit the rest of your sloppy joe recipes. Can you believe this is the first time I've made them?
ReplyDeleteThat's surprising Karen. Are sloppy joes a regional thing?
DeleteThere's a National Sloppy Joe Day? Who knew?
ReplyDeletestay safe!
best...mae at maefood.blogspot.com
There are food holidays nearly every day of the year and I"m always happy to celebrate LOL.
DeleteA great way to make a fun dinner!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris.
DeleteYumm! You are right - sloppy joe meat and pasta really are a wonderful pairing, sort of a variation on ghoulash (which I LOVE)! Yours looks cozy tucked in with that blanket of cheese! Yumm!!
ReplyDeleteVery much like goulash Rebekah.
DeleteThis just sounds delicious! I love pasta for a weeknight meal, and I know my boys would love this.
ReplyDeleteIt was a huge hit here Ashley.
