Sweet Jerk Sloppy Joes Q&A
What's in Sloppy Joe mix?
Most Sloppy Joe seasoning mixes just have salt, sugar, and spices, meaning you have to add a can of tomato paste. Our Sloppy Joe Meal Starter Spice Mix includes tomato powder, so you don't have to worry about having an extra ingredient on hand.
How do you make Sloppy Joes?
Sloppy Joes are probably so popular because they are quick and easy to make. Simply brown your ground meat and add the seasoning and water to create a sauce.
What do you add to Sloppy Joe mix?
With our Sweet Jerk Sloppy Joe mix, you only have to add meat and water. We added tomato powder and tropical spices to create a bold, ready-to-use seasoning mix.
How can you thicken Sloppy Joes?
If your sloppy joes are too thick, just let them simmer a few minutes longer. Some of the water will evaporate, resulting in a thicker sauce. In a pinch, you could add a bit of tomato paste or Tomato Powder to thicken it, but that will neutralize some of the spice flavor.
