I am from London, in my garden having a beer, we r having a heatwave here at the moment. I love watching your videos I have made many of your meals, so delicious. 😋

[@ramencurry6672]

I like British cheese

[@TheSquirrelgirl55]

Onion powder is my secret weapon in so much of my cooking , even when using fresh onion in the recipe. Such an enhancer.

[@kk-sg8lj]

I always use onion powder in essentially all my savory foods but let me tell you chive powder is amazing you can get it in bulk on amazon and i use them as they are finley chopped sometimes but i really like to grind mine into a powder scallion powder is great as well

[@lildebra7941]

Mine too

[@coolmoon4382]

A suggestion for less sloppiness for kids or adults who hate messiness. I call it a sloppy Joe bowl. You take the bun cut it up or rip it up place in bottom of bowl put cheese or whatever you may add in. Then put LOTS OF SLOPPY in the bowl. Add more ripped up bun. Grab a spoon. And now you can eat mess free. I didn't think of that until I was an adult. Always thought you had to fight with your Joe to eat it. 😆

[@charlottehetherington8720]

That's a really good tip my grandson doesn't like sloppy joes just because he says they're too messy

[@lindawray3386]

I eat mine on a hot dog bun, it helps a little with the messy lol🌺

[@coolmoon4382]

@@lindawray3386 yes.. I've done that too.

[@pampriddy7659]

@@lindawray3386 I’ve just never thought of doing this and it’s a wonderful smart idea. Thanks for sharing it!

[@HippyMiMi]

Or you can reduce the tomato sauce a little and let it sit for a little bit before serving and it thickens up. That's what I do. I don't like the messiness of SJ's either and by doing that which is easy I'm personally fine.

[@jodyholden5930]

Horrible to say because I realize it's a cooking show, but I absolutely love your hair Tammy. So darn cute!

[@SarahRenz59]

Pro Tip: When I'm eating a messy sandwich such as a sloppy joe, juicy burger, etc., I cut it in quarters instead of in half. It's a lot easier to handle that way.

[@tatiannazutania7751]

I live in NEPA (North East Pennsylvania) and we call them Whimpies. I like to put grated cheddar or pepper jack cheese on mine. I sure do love your channel.

[@jackiemiller8174]

Your hair is gorgeous today. I am in north east Alabama and we cook a lotta like. Love watching you and Chris. God blessing and all ❤❤❤❤

Thanks so much Jackie, I just flip it upside down to blow dry then spray with hair spray :)

[@valorieletkeman8992]

You showed this onion trick one other time, definitely a game changer, You are a Rock Star!!!!

[@lisapop5219]

Literally just did the ground beef trick yesterday. We included a bunch of onions & peppers from the garden too.

[@sharronwolfe7711]

This looks so good! And fast! Great idea to have everything ready to make this quick in a day that has too many “chores per hour”!!! Thank you!!

Hey Tammy and Chris, I just finished cleaning house and now I’m laying on the spare bedroom with my cat watching you all 😋 btw I am in Olympia, Washington 🌲

Gosh I live in Kentucky my mom was raised in Chehalis and had relatives that live in Olympia Washington. You live is a beautiful area and miss seeing it. Miss Washington.

[@karendixon401]

I'm in Olympia also! Have southern in-laws so learned some of the things my mother-in-law cooked.

This is the kind of video that brought me to your channel. Just you and your hubby relaxed and down to earth in your kitchen cooking fun and simple recipes. Loved this!!

What a delightful person you are! Your husband is a lucky man. Love watching you cook and picking up a few tips and good recipes. Thanks!

[@melissabartmess2869]

Made this tonight!!! It's amazing!!! Will be my go to recipe from now on!! I did use 2 lbs of ground beef instead of 1.5 lbs. And didn't have mustard so used 1/2 tsp dry mustard.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Great job!

Hi Tammy love ur hairdo. I really like sloppy joes but my husband dont so dont fix them much. God bless u & Chris & have a bless weekend. ❤️

[@jackiebrown3543]

Quick and easy! What a great idea to brown and freeze the beef. I'll have to start doing just that. I love sloppy joes and so does the family

[@TheSquirrelgirl55]

Watching the replay! Yummy! From Gloucester Point, VA, gorgeous day here at our home on the York River.

[@auntkaren12]

when i freeze ground beef, i flatten out the bag before putting in the freezer. that way it will defrost quicker or i can take out a small portion.

[@bettyjaneeasley9862]

I'm from Belfair Washington and I love you guys. You are a good cook!

[@waynecharles1359]

Love watching you two

[@dianamahar483]

Looks yummy ❤️❤️

[@nancylee4234]

Hi Tammy. I use brown sugar and vinegar besides the mustard and mayonnaise, and either ketchup or one can of Manwich or a bottle of Chilli sauce. And of course onion and green pepper.

[@cynthialewis4313]

He’s brown sugar also

[@teresabennett1854]

I must tell you I have looked for a KZbin program that I will love as much as yours, and seriously and I mean it I haven't had any luck. You really have the personality for what you're doing.

That looks great ! Same here with the onion powder. I think I started using it when I seen you use it. Orlando, Fl.

[@ms.v.6152]

One of my FAVE MEALS❤️

[@susanneal3780]

One time I was making this, and I will say it is a favorite of ours, I did not have enough ketchup. I used a little bit of chili sauce and cocktail sauce so we would have ketchup for our tots. It was delicious.

[@carolynnjanzer7294]

Sloppy Joe's making my mouth water so I am going to make it now. Thanks

[@maryables6752]

Looks so 😋 😋 😋 😋 yummy

[@ANGELA-do9yf]

NOW THAT LOOKS VERY GOOD AND TASTY

[@bertiehardison2689]

When our local grocery store has ground beef on sale for 1.99 a pound, I’ll buy 30 or more pounds. I go ahead and brown 10-15 pounds and put in individual freezer bags, I make up patties and freeze and then I bag 1.5 pounds in bags. This makes things so much easier on stressful days. My hubby can’t have onions but can eat onion powder so that a blessing. This sloppy joe recipe is exactly like mine with the exception of the pickles, I’ll have to try this. It a shame, I have a air fryer but have never used it.

[@joannaazar7396]

Looks yummy! I never would have thought of putting sweet relish in sloppy joes- I'm going to try that. Haven't had them in awhile- I need to make them soon. I also love the idea of cooking the ground beef before freezing- so much easier to throw a quick meal together.

Hey Tammy Ordered the blending fork from your page on Amazon. Love that thing.Don’t how I did without it.Like my mashed potatoes lumpy and the fork is just perfect for mashing them. Heard yellow mustard is on the shortage list so better stock up.I did. My salt intake is limited so I now use the Badia Complete seasoning. It has many seasonings in one. Love it and don’t have to use extra salt. Thank you. Love this one.
