Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Sloppy Joes.
Step 1
Begin by heating a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Crumble the ground beef into the pot, stirring frequently until it transforms into a beautifully browned mixture.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and flavorful.

Next, introduce the chopped onion and celery to the pot, allowing them to mingle with the beef.
Step 5
Sauté for about three minutes, or until the onion softens and releases its sweet aroma.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium and pour in the rich tomato-based chili sauce, stirring in the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and optional mustard for a delightful kick.
Step 7
Let this savory concoction simmer gently, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken to your liking.
Step 8
Enjoy the process as your kitchen fills with the enticing scent of homemade chili.
