How to Make Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix

  1. In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the paprika, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, ground mustard, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  2. Spoon the seasoning mix onto a 6-inch square of aluminum foil. Fold the foil to create an airtight seal.
  3. Label the package with the name "Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix" and the date.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
  5. To make Sloppy Joes: Brown 1 lb of lean ground beef in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon.
  6. Drain off any excess grease.
  7. Add the entire Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce to the skillet.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  9. Serve the Sloppy Joe mixture on toasted hamburger buns. Garnish as desired (e.g., shredded cheese, chopped onions).
