Hot dogs get sloppy! Hot dogs are topped with a beef and tomato sloppy joe mix in these family friendly Sloppy Dogs.
Growing up, we had a rotation of recipes that my mom would make. One of those meals – and one of my favorites – was sloppy joes. I can imagine that most kids had sloppy joes as a kid, and now as a mother, I can see why. Not only are they easy and fast, but they are pretty family friendly and relatively inexpensive.
I still love a good sloppy joe these days. And I can’t tell you how these popped into my head – but once the idea was there – I had to run with it. All I know is one day, I found myself thinking “what about sloppy joe on top of a hot dog?”
Honestly, I had no idea how these would turn out. But I figured that I love chili dogs, so why not sloppy joe dogs? Luckily the experiment was a big success. I think these may have even been my husband’s favorite hot dog recipe. He devoured 2 the night I made them, and then had 2 more for lunch the next day. I can usually judge how successful a recipe is by how much my husband eats – and this one was a true winner!!

I had the same revelation a few years ago. It was winter and we’d made hot dogs from my left over homemade beef chili. The next week, we were having Sloppy Joes and realized didn’t have any hamburger rolls, but we had hot dogs and hot dog rolls. So I made one and loved it. Everyone in the house loves it, too.

Great idea! I can see how these would totally work since who doesn’t love a chili dog which would be similar.

Loving your blog and Hot Dog Week! My family loves hot dogs, so this would be a fun thing to try before the kids head back to college! We just had dogs at the Varsity in Atlanta during Tech orientation! New follower too! 30AEATS.com :))
