Easy Sloppy Joe Pockets Recipe

December 12, 2014 by Susan Bewley

Sometimes, it’s nice having quick recipes when you are in a hurry. With our busy schedules I sometimes feel like we go for fast food too quickly, especially burgers. To save money and cut back on greasy, unhealthy food, I have been trying to find more recipes that are not only easy to make, but don’t take a great deal of time. I especially love recipes that I can do some prep ahead of time by throwing things in a bag and then throwing it in a pot later. One of my friends actually introduced me to this super easy, ‘sloppy joe’ or ground beef pocket recipe. Not only is it easy but fairly inexpensive! We are pretty certain your family will like this recipe just as much as ours!

Note: Special thanks to my friends Shannon at Livingston Creatives for helping me with this recipe and pictures!

    This is a great recipe. We don’t eat fast food in our house, but schedules are always crazy and getting a quick meal on the go is hard to plan. This is going to be a great recipe my whole family will eat. I can make these in bulk and freeze. Thanks!

    Such a fun idea! I bet you could make a bunch and freeze them for when you are in a hurry. I’ve got to try this recipe, they really do look delicious!

    These sound super easy and would be great when my granddaughters are over for dinner, I like that they are neat and your recipe for sloppy joes sounds great, I have never though of brown sugar in them, but I am going to try them,

    I never knew you could do something like this with Sloppy Joe. I’ve always mushed it in between two pieces of bread but this looks so good!

    I make sloppy joes all the time but this would be something different and easy to make. I think the family would love this.

    I love sloppy joes. I use fresh tomato in mine and let it simmer for a couple of hours. I’ve never tried brown sugar in mine. That sounds like it would give it a bit of a bbq. taste. Sloppy Joes must be homemade. I can’t stand that canned stuff!

    This looks delicious, and it’s only 8 in the morning. I have seen other versions of this recipe that used the canned stuff, but this looks wonderfully fresh. Can’t wait to try it one day. One question, do you use regular size biscuits or jumbo size?

    That’s a good idea. Especially if you have a messy eater in the house.

    this sounds so much better than having it on hamburger buns like I always do. Definitely doing this.

    This is a good recipe. You can fill the pastry with pretty much anything that you like. I’ve tried it with pizza fillings and scrambled egg, cheese and sausage. My husband makes dough from scratch but in a pinch the pre-made rolls are fine.

  34. Melinda Dartmann says

    April 7, 2015 at 11:00 pm

    Yum! Now this looks like a easy and delicious recipe! I never though to use a sloppy joe in a pocket! Putting this on my list to try for the weekend! Thanks for a great recipe!
