Instant Pot Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes are a summer time favorite in our homes, but we’d be lying if we said we don’t really enjoy them year round! Not only are they delicious, but they’re extremely easy to make and very budget friendly!

Would you rather make this on the stove?

Thankfully, either way you do it, Sloppy Joes are an extremely easy and budget-friendly meal! To make the meat mixture on the stove, simply cook the meat in a frying pan. As it cooks, make sure to bread the meat up into tiny pieces. Once the meat is almost cooked through, stir in all the other ingredients, making sure to add the water last. Then, bring to a summer, and cook uncovered on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Can I make this Low Carb?

While you can make this recipe low carb, there’s just something about enjoying it on a bun! But, some good low carb alternatives would be to serve your Sloppy Joe meat in Bell Peppers (See our Stuffed Peppers recipe for inspiration), Lettuce Wraps with diced avocados, a nice salad, or serve over Cauliflower Mash. Another substitution would be to use lean beef, lean pork, or lean turkey. Whichever way you do it, it will be delicious!
