NOT Your Average Sloppy Joe Sandwich from Scratch -- Must Try

This homemade sloppy joe sandwich is not your average sloppy joe! We start by smoking some ground beef patties on the pellet grill, and then finish the smoked beef by searing it on the griddle for a nice crust and extra flavor. Then, chop up the beef patties, make the homemade sloppy joe sauce directly on the Blackstone griddle, let it reduce and these easy griddle sandwiches are ready to enjoy!

Mmmmmmm, Those looked absolutely delicious and simple to make to, I like that. I like the idea of smoking the meat to, great idea. Keep these great videos coming.

This is ANOTHER good recipe my friend !!! But what really makes this look so good is your videographer !!! She may not like to cook but , she sure can produce a video THANK you Amy ! Frank from montana....

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Thank you so much Frank

[@karlkovach8647]

Man that takes me back to my childhood. My Mom made made some mean Sloppy Joes when I was younger (of course we didn't have a smoker) but, she did add liquid smoke because my Dad insisted that thay have some smoke flavor. If he were alive today he would make them in an instant. He loved the grill. I'm 71 years old now and have been pondering a griddle but...........I just don't know how the Wife would take that although I do know how to cook. We'll see what happens when I bring it up. It's so hot here in S.C. I really don't want to start the grill. LOL.

[@IamJaneS]

Sloppy Joes here in Australia are something you wear, not eat! I'll definitely be trying this, without the bell peppers and pickles. Both are blergh! Looked absolutely delicious!

[@wmariage]

Definitely trying this one!

[@JohnSwartz-mn7ln]

Great Job, enjoy how you explain everything 👍🏻

[@russelljones3171]

Great job, gonna try it

[@ChrisBQue]

I stopped sloppy Joes when I was a kid but this looks great. I'll give it a try with some tots on the side.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Absolutely...tots are a must

[@brodyschiess]

This looks amazing! When you make something and it leaves you speechless I think that's a good sign. And hello, the Arby's inspired horsey sauce is EPIC! This isn't necessarily a suggestion, but more of an observation. When I think of a "manwich" goo based sloppy joe, I think of molasses which makes me think dark brown sugar might be a good option vs. the light brown sugar. One of the Santa Maria BBQ style sauces I developed is molasses forward and I think it would tick up the flavor a little bit. I was trying to think of what I want to make for the 4th, and well Neal I think you have put me on a good path here!! As always, thank you for sharing!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Very good idea bud...cheers

[@coopermillard4378]

Will liquid smoke work on the beef? I don't have a smoker, but I love the flavor. Thanks.

Ok, good video. I'm new to the channel, and I'm still catching up on all the videos. I can't stop watching. My favorite is the homemade tortillas. Could you do cron ones next? Love the channel. I just got a 4 burner 36in and was looking on how to season when I found you and hussy, and them twins can't wait to use some of you recipes. You're my favorite, and your lives were awesome. I can't wait for the next one I hit the bell and the thumb 😅

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Awesome! Thank you! I truly appreciate that..cheers

[@jimmydoyle1613]

AdamSandlers lunchlady song come so mind. Shloppy joe!!!! Looks excellent.!

[@ethanmiller3935]

Great video! So we are considering getting a Halo griddle. We can get the 4 burner one for $400 from a store that buys out the merchandise from stores that are closing. This'll be our first (and only) griddle. Like anything new, there is a learning curve. One question I do have is how long do griddles typically last? I know on a gas grill, the burners start rusting and eventually rot out over time. Does it happen to good griddles because they don't come in contact with food grease? I know Halo has a 5-year warranty, so I would think it would last at least that long.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Well thats a very very good question..However and honestly I can not answer that. I go though so many griddles each year that I hardly ever have the same one for long

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Another awesome cook. As an 70s kid I loved sloppy joes after a long night out!! I could have swore I heard my name at the 8:28 mark? Anywho, you guys rock!!

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahahaha Cheers Hot Tommy

[@stonerscravings]

Manwich who? Looks fabulous. I’d even spread that on a hot dog 😋

Those looked absolutely delicious! I've never smoked mine before, but I will next time. I do everything just like you did, but I go one step more. I add Hot Pace Picante salsa to mine. Great video, guys 👍

Nice! As an aside, I used to dance under the name "Sloppy Joe" in the 80's.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

hahhahhaha

[@chewbacca7856]

Kids won't like that one unfortunately. My weber comes next week and I can't wait to season it. I chose the weber because of your toast tests. Made the smash gyro yesterday and the wife loved it. Kids not so much. Turns out they don't like tziki. Cheers.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey thats awesome for sure...cheers..hope you enjoy it

In Australia 🇦🇺 a sloppy joe is instead of bread 🥖 we use potatoes 🥔.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Interesting...what method of cooking do you use...fried, grilled, boiled, hashbrown style,etc

[@davebrown5440]

We boil the spuds 🥔 or microwave to cook, cut open & place cooked fillings in oven or air fryer. I’m enjoying your videos.

I make dill pickle sloppy Joe's where I dice pickles and throw em in there and use half water half pickle juice to reduce for the sauce. No where near as fancy as this, but it don't suck.

Neal, those Sloppy Joe sandwiches look absolutely awesome. Another recipe for us to add to the collection and cook! Also I agree with @brodyschiess, that using dark brown sugar will give more of a deeper flavor profile vs the light brown. Thanks

[@DanWatts-g9p]

Those look absolutely amazing, Neal. I happened upon your channel several months ago and I love what you do. Your creativity on the flat top inspires me to try new things. Keep it up. Also, what material is that black cutting board? It doesn't look like plastic. I've been looking for something similar.

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey I appreciate that....its a recycled material...didnt think I would like it...but love it...not sure the material but its from cuttingboard.com

[@bradmesserle999]

Just did the cook but didn’t smoke the meat. Wife loved it!!!! I did only 1lbs of meat also. Btw my store had the amoroso’s buns! On sale also. So good

[@TheFlatTopKing]

[@TheFlatTopKing]

Hey I appreciate that...Weber is definitely a good one...

[@cedaroakfarm8596]

Another good step up for a traditional sammich. The sauce especially gives it a little pop. Still no smoker here but can use a smoke spice and a little smoked paprika works.

Yeah thats a problem for sure...Some days I wont either but I am under a porch with shade...no doubt it gets hot

[@davidward1259]

@@TheFlatTopKing We added 2 outdoor rated Hunter ceiling fans to our covered porch. Huge difference for the cook in hot weather. It's still hot, but moving air helps more than you realize until you try it. Also since the air movement is from above to downward, it does not affect the burner flames like a box fan blowing sideways might.

I think a HUGE difference in relating "how" to cook these is by using a thermal gun and showing the less experienced chef what temp we should be shooting for.
