Sloppy Joes - The Hillbilly Kitchen

I miss all of the little Sloppy Joe faces that my four kids had when they were little. I usually made it for them after church on Sundays because it was quick and easy to make and they all four loved it.
After they ate their Sloppy Joes, they put on their bathing suits and swam in our pool the rest of the day. Now Charlotte is old enough to eat Sloppy Joes and her Aunt Alex just bought her a new wading pool :)
Ingredients:
2 lb. - Ground beef or ground chuck
1/2 cup - Ketchup
1/2 cup - BBQ sauce
Onion powder
Salt and pepper

Sloppy Joes and Andy Griffith on the tv. What a wonderful life💞

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Yep, my favorite show! I just got back from a trip to see Mt. Airy about 2 weeks ago 😁

[@deecee8108]

These are really good. Thank you for how simple these are. You really give me confidence

[@Noemi_Sunflower]

Great recipe love the any Griffith show playing in the background God bless you

[@justnotg00d]

That pose you started with, kinda serious, like you mean business for today. Love your recipes. I love to be able to stretch the food I buy.

[@bobwitkowski6410]

Becky mentioned about draining the greese from the pan and discarding it. I did that in the past until I discovered that I was sacrificing a lot of flavor for a gravy. When I make my sloppy Joes and any other hamburger based dish that requires the meat to be drained I drain it into a strainer over a bowl. Then I put that liquid into a Tupperware container and put it into the freezer and let it freeze for about an hour or so just to separate the fat from the broth. Than I skim the fat off the top of the broth and wrap it up with aluminum foil than I put it back into the freezer and also I freeze the broth aswell in its container. When I make a gravy I use the fat to make a roux for my gravy and use the broth as its base. I feel that this makes a more favorable gravy When I am having a steak and mashed potatoes. For, there is a great flavor carry over.

[@portiahoward4527]

I love this idea and the Andy Griffith show in the background.

[@ohravenous1]

I always check with you when I think I remember gramma's recipe and you were spot on again! God bless the proud hillbilly woman! TY SVM!

[@scottjune3554]

Well now I'm hungry that looks great

[@clintneff5387]

I know this is an older video but it could be a scene from my kitchen today. Me cooking and in the background would be the Andy Griffith show, the Waltons or something older that was some wholesome entertainment. Can't beat the older stuff with some great older recipes. Thanks for all your recipes, they keep me trying things that my family grew up on in the 1960's. Oh yeah, I'm a 60+ man and my wife is watching TV while I do the cooking. Can't help it, been cooking for myself and others since I was quite a bit younger. Thanks again.

[@andreayaklin5821]

Love that show..

[@donnahopper6029]

I love to watch you cook! You are so neat and clean when you prepare a meal. I'm a messy cook. I'm watching to learn how to do it.

[@paulcowles998]

Me too, I’m also a messy cook and I’m trying to figure out how to not be messy!

[@scottarceneaux7745]

Sloopy Joe's and Andy Griffin does not get any better. Thanks

[@mike44nypd]

I thought I was the only one watches the Andy Griffith show lol 😆

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

I know every episode by heart 😊 Happy New Year!

[@MichaelWH]

Love the Andy Griffith show...not so much the color episodes without Barney

[@kellyspann9845]

We watch it everyday for years.

[@diannemasters7207]

Wasn’t that the gold truck show?

[@frankmurrell709]

👁👁👊👊👊

[@janicekinsell719]

I use my homage chili sauce since the stores has hfc in it. I also add onions to my meat also. But I'm going to try your recipe. Thanks for your video's I really enjoy them. I've been cooking for 50 years and love your sweet spirit God Bless you and your family!

[@jayreaser]

Love the recipe. I also like the TV show on tv. I used t watch that show Andy of Mayberry. Have a blessed day.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+Jay Reaser Thank you! I watch Andy every night :) God Bless You!

[@dennismoreland5175]

I’ve seen that episode “the gold truck” many, many times.

[@abdullaex4119]

Needing to cook now for my wife and myself. She loves your recipes and I am trying hard to do something never learned before. I will succeed thanks to your help young lady. Oh...... Andy looks like he's doing good as well.. Ms Becky, from the heart, Thank you

[@steveolsen2164]

Love the recipes. Another way to get rid of the grease is to take a little foil and line a cup. Pour the grease into the foil. After it solidifies, throw it in the garbage. It seems like I throw all my cans out the day before I need them. Never fails. Blessings to you.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+Steve Olsen I use foil when I don't have a can too. I should do a tip video on it because grease down the drain is never good :) God Bless You!

[@loridennis2989]

Steve Olsen Need to recycle cans not throw them away.

[@debbiealtman4572]

To Drain Your grease from hamburger, what I do is get a mixing bowl and a colander. I put colander over bowl and drain grease in bowl. When cooled some I put in garbage and take bag out. If I do need a teaspoon of grease reserved I have that or when cooked discard..

[@NannaNeely]

@Debbie altman, after I do what you said about draining the ground meat. I also rinse it in the bowl with hot water to insure that most of the fat is gone. Husband has had a quadruple bypass, so I try to get out as much of the fat as I possibly can. It also come from being a Dietary Manager, LOL

[@debbiealtman4572]

Sheila M Neely 🤗

[@ssgn6]

I put some mustard in my sloppy joe mix. just a thought.

[@Litzbitz]

MY 7 KIDS LOVED SLOPPY JOES. I STILL MAKE IT FROM TIME TO TIME. THANK YOU BECKY.

[@Artchick1972]

Making this tonight. I put together the sauce. It tastes amazing. I used my favorite BBQ sauce. I am going to put this over a baked potato with homemade Sour Cream and chives

[@baggerchicforever2687]

Had to stop at 2 minutes to say. .I'm a huge Andy Griffith fan and I see it's on your TV in the background. .love it. ..lol

[@h.harvey5416]

Same for me! As soon as I saw it in the background I knew it was going to be a good recipe!

[@rexchambers6774]

I love this woman!!

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+Rex Chambers Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing!!! Welcome to the Hillbilly Kitchen!!!

[@Thepitz2000]

I made a Mexican version of the "Sloppy Joe" I called it the "Sloppy Jose" It was beef with taco seasoning and sour cream and taco sauce, cheese and lettuce Oh and refried beans. Good stuff on a bun

[@lynnettecook6973]

Just a little trivia: If someone has a dog or kitty that's older or has teeth issues, pour the grease over their dry food. Just a thought. God Bless you and your family Becky! :-)

[@joanneskillings309]

Hi Becky Made Your Sloppy Joe's For Me And My Husband It Was Fast Easy And Delicious Thank You For Your Turtorials And You Explain Them So It Is Easy For Us To Follow God Bless You And Your Family I Pray For Your Channel Everynight I Love How You Talk About The Lord I Love Him To With All My Heart. 😊

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Thank you very much, God bless you!

[@debbieflaherty1975]

Andy Griffith on the tv….❤ Edit: My husband used to add a little mustard too.

[@claytonpatrick9586]

Becky! You're a real Hillbilly when showed everyone you know about snow cream . Most people haven't even heard of snow cream. I have had snow cream since the 1950s. Thankyou Becky.

[@MilePost106]

I haven't bought canned sloppy joe mix in years. I make my own.

[@hopeflores9460]

lol "nobody in this house needs this grease" lol amen looks good !

[@TheRabbitpaws]

OMG this is JUST I needed and didn't realize it. That looks SOOOO TASTY! Thank you for sharing.

[@susanmccullough8839]

Hillbilly kitchen versus and vittles. These sound amazing

[@vickiburt2676]

I wouldn't throw out that meat fat, but actually use it for cooking vegetables , soup, or your choice. It's much better for you than almost all vegetable oils. Good one is are olive but no over processed & fat from meat , chicken (any bird) like that & whatever your family loves. This recipe looks so good I plan on doing it this weekend! Thank you for sharing this! I LOVE sloppy Joes! Love the Andy Griffith show in background too...

[@janiepate5549]

Just wanted to take the time and say I really love your channel. Love the recipes. Thank you.

[@onewinglow55]

love barney fife on tv in the background.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Me too :) Barney never cried about being bulled and Andy solved all the world's problems in 20 minutes :))

[@cathyburns750]

I'm drooling! Ohhh that looks so good! It's 1:30 a.m. and I 'm about to go raid the fridge. Thanks for the recipe! Can't wait to try it!

[@pueblo1960]

yep they deputized Gomer

[@davebruton5731]

Your Great ! Loved the Andy Griffith Show behind you . thank you

[@rlf1211]

Here's a tip: when the hamburger is done and you're trying to break up all the larger pieces, try using a potato masher. It's quick and easy.

[@nildabridgeman8104]

My goodness Thanks for the info on grease!.. I haven't eaten these for 35 years. I was so happy to make/eat Sloppy Joes I forgot about my pipes 🤭. God Bless You 💐❤️

[@joannd267]

I have a helpful hint for you as you were discussing the disposal of the grease.. I move all the meat to one side of the pan allowing all the grease to pool on the other side. I FOLD A PAPER TOWEL UP FAIRLY SMALL AND LAY IT IN THE GREASE ALLOWING THE PAPER TOWEL TO ABSORB THE HOT GREASE. REMOVE THE TOWEL AND DISCARD.. YEAH !! GREASE GONE..

[@melaniegilg5868]

Love the recipe I'm to try these for dinner one night thank you Becky for you showing us your videos I really appreciate it God bless you Melanie gilg Tehachapi ca. 😊

[@georgeballard6452]

love your videos. never made sloppy joes with bbq sauce. gonna have to try it.

[@emiliaescobar7652]

Simple easy video, looks yummy!

[@StephS40]

I love Sloppy Joes! I usually eat mine open-faced and with a fork. A lot of people might not think that is the "proper" way to eat Sloppy Joes, but oh, well.

[@darkintelligence6229]

I usually dice 1 large onion, and cook it for 5 min first. With 1 tsp salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Then I toss in the meat, and cook for 7 min on medium. Drain the meat greece. Add in tomato sauce, tomato paste, and seasonings/tobasco sauce. Cook for an additional 15 min and bam. Good to go.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Thanks for sharing!

[@wildfire720]

YUM..THOSE LOOKED GREAT..I HAVE NEVER USED BBQ SAUCE BUT I WILL TRY IT NOW..THANKS BECKY..GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS..

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

ERNESTINE JUSTICE Thank you, Ernestine! We truly appreciate your support! They are pretty tasty, easy and fast. Give them a try! God Bless You!!!

[@wandajohnston5425]

Thank you so much for sharing the TRUE Word of God! As I believe the KJV is the only authorized word!! I love watching your videos!! Thank you again!

[@taarnaandros7859]

I drain the grease over my dog’s kibble as a treat (she’s a big farm dog and gets all the exercise she wants) or give it to my chickens. I have a great clean up crew!

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

It keeps a dogs coat full and beautiful.

[@Ray-ku1sj]

I just now made this recipe, using Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Barbecue Sauce, it came out great. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. Ray

[@johncantrell614]

I wonder if it would be good with a little diced onion in there when you are frying the hamburger?

[@Zormac]

Absolutely! Don't sautee the onion, throw it in after browning the meat. Instead of ketchup, I use diced tomatoes and brown sugar and mustard, and some diced chili.

[@timpani25]

some of the Weber BBQ sauces are made without HFCS, and are quite tasty. thanks for the vids.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

I'll look for them. Thanks

[@pamwhittemore3476]

I love your recipe for Sloppy Joes! My mother used to make them when I was a child and they were the best. She used to put a little brown sugar in the meat mixture though. I watched a lot of other recipes for Sloppy Joes and they put green or red peppers in them. They taste terrible to me! My friends and I always thought my mothers was the best! It's been a long time since I made Sloppy Joes and your recipe helped me remember what my Mom did. Thank you! Blessings!

[@reaganfaithfamilycountry3154]

just started watching....i love your intro....and i love Andy in the background....and your food looks amazing!

[@LaceRosesIamspecial]

Ooohh! I was just going to comment when I saw other people beat me! I grew up watching Andy Griffith with my Dad! I still watch it. Its like his favorite show! :) We have some burger meat we want to use so we will be trying out these sloppy joes!

[@jessicadailey6817]

Becky love the recipe got to try this

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+Jessica Dailey Thank you :)

[@gregoryfranklin5108]

After you have made your batch of sloppy Joe, try mixing it with pork&beans then sprinkle with cheese . Bake in the oven till the cheese is bubbly and brow . Great with corn bread . (Camp beans) Another way to stretch it out is to serve it over rice or baked potatoes. Thanks for your videos . It's like my child hood has come home to my kitchen ❤❤❤

[@chriscorso4792]

You had me with Mayberry playing on the TV

[@ogre8453]

Wow as a newish viewer these old videos are kind of a trip. This was a different time, though six years wasn't that long ago.

[@davidcooke7744]

Hi ya I’m glad you said how you dispose of the grease a lot of KZbin cookies don’t tell people that.

[@pettyfogger2305]

Talk about a complete set as yourbackdrop, you even have the Andy Griffin show playing on the TV in the next room!! I am waiting for you to share your kitchen with Aunt Bea!!!

[@markplacker5651]

I mix shreded cheese in at the end of the cook to act as glue. Lol. Makes it less sloppy and tastes awesome. Cheese is mild cheddar. Lol.

[@wiiiiamzeimer6094]

I dont know why but we put our grease in a plastic coffee can till the can is about 1/2 full then throw the can out with the trash. Just have always done it that way. Might go back to the old days when folks saved bacon grease but now we just put it all in the coffee can and toss it out. We also use a screen over the sink. Have a garbage disposal but dont let anything go down the sink but liquids. Plumbers are expensive.

[@duanescarborough8297]

Becky, That's a good homemade variation on sloppy Joe's. I use ground turkey and the canned sloppy joe sauce. Please tell more about your dislike for HFCS. It seems to be in so many things now days. Thanks, Duane

[@duanescarborough8297]

HFCS is not as processed as people think, nor is “normal sugar” - or sucrose - as clean as people think. Both of these are derived from botanical sources. Sugar comes from sugar cane or sugar beets while HFCS comes from corn.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Books have been written on the dangers of HFCS, but here is the short answer. First it is all made with GMO corn and books have been written on the dangers of GMOs. HFCS is highly concentrated. The human body cannot break it down and process it. It triggers a neurological reaction in the brain similar to cocaine or opium because it is so concentrated which makes it addictive. It causes fatty liver disease which leads to diabetes, obesity and all the associated diseases. My husband's doctor told him when you drink a can of soda with HFCS you might as well pour acid on you nerve endings because it goes directly into your blood stream and literally burns your nerve endings. That caused Peripheral Neuropathy which is so painful it is crippling and not being mobile certainly has a long list of associated health risks as does chronic pain. If you don't believe how bad it is look at per 1980 photos and current photos, look at obesity and diabetes statics, look at the number of pharmacists and doctors offices. It is lethal.

[@TennesseeT0404]

Love the Andy Griffith show thats on in the other room😀📺

[@apkn1955]

I fed a few extra people by adding a can of kidney beans. The beans take on the beef taste.

[@keiththomas3141]

Yeah, that is a gourmet meal.

[@collenrose3957]

Wow, I didn't realize how easy it is to make sloppy joes. All thess years I have bought it in a can! Thank you for the great recipe. I will be making this soon.😁🤗😄👍

[@thelonelybushcrafter8013]

I'm English......... I am in love with you and your food xx

[@rebeccasha1211]

Love this! My Mom used to make Sloppy Joe’s.

[@commonsensenews9450]

Great videos. I move meat to side of skillet. Let grease flow to other side and soak up greese with paper towels then I discard in trash. Skillet easier to clean after that. Love all your videos.

[@trekzilladmc]

I see Barney in the background! And it's the episode with the gold truck!

[@Zero_Inertia]

try some plain tomato soup in there for a less dried texture if you need

[@karenmc4592]

use a potatoe masher to break up your hambuger, works really good.

[@MsBee-cf5zx]

Yummmmmm❣️❣️❣️

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Thank you very much, God bless you!

[@barbaraspencer9107]

I made your recipe for Sloppy Joes this evening. They were delicious! (Barb)

[@carblarson8868]

I add green bell pepper. I feel it is a must, like ketchup is with fries.

[@dbridger620]

Not bad, but I think I'd like a little more flavor such as onion, green pepper, and maybe a touch of gunpowder for that really "explosive" flavor! With God's blessing, of course.

[@trinibenavides3065]

Some kids don't like that stuff like my kids so I have to make two separate batches

[@Jenny_Lee_]

Gunpowder!! Haha!! 🤣

[@vickiburt2676]

I like that last part, best help ever!

[@innovision777]

Becky, try a little Trappy Bull's hot sauce in it ,first time I did, I put some on a spoon full of the meat mix & loved it. it makes it spicier but not hot, so the kiddo's can eat it... Great recipe for a family meal, keep um coming. :-)

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

+innovision777 Thank you :) I will try it sometime. Something a little different is good.

[@jamalmiles6586]

[@brendawhaley7094]

i put onions and bell peppers yummmm

[@jimmcginnis8830]

I love sloppy Joe's even if I'm 57. I just don't use bbq sauce or any hot sauces. Just chopped onions, bell pepper, shallots, bit o salt , good amount black pepper and tomato canned products for the sauce base.

[@judiththompson3120]

Kraft brand BBQ sauce, and Stubbs BBQ sauce are without high fructose corn syrup.

[@kaiepotter2499]

Can't wait

[@deniseview4253]

This is how I make my sloppy Joe but I chop up onion and fry with the burger as well as add onion & garlic powder.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

Great idea! Happy New Year Thank you and God bless you Denise!

[@RonN448]

It was so cool that someone in the other room was watching the old Andy Griffith Show! That was a favorite show of mine, too. Oh...I also want to tell you that the Sloppy Joes look great! :)

[@stephaniemusic5085]

This is similar to the ones my grandma used to make except she didn’t use the bbq sauce she used more ketchup with. Brown sugar and some white vinegar. I have altered her recipe slightly and added worchtershire sauce which gives it a nice kick of flavor. I have also tried it with green peppers and some chili paste.

[@TheHillbillyKitchen]

I like green peppers sometimes, too. Thank you for watching, commenting and being a part of the Hillbilly Kitchen!

[@carolynandrews2115]

Looks delicious!
