Dutch Oven Recipes: Easy Sloppy Joes

50 Campfires

Easy sloppy joes are a delicious, easy-to-make and an absolute classic meal for any age group. After a long day outside, hiking, or playing on the water, it is nice to get back to the campsite and not have to prep a meal for 40 minutes.

This recipe, adapted from Taste of Home, feeds quite a bit so if you’re making it for only a few people, I would recommend halving it. By the way, if you’re looking for a Dutch oven, this is our favorite one, and this is the best way to clean it.

Easy Sloppy Joes

This is a terrific, tame recipe for making sloppy joes over the campfire — or any heat source for that matter. If you want to spice it up a bit you can add chili powder, cayenne or any of a variety of other peppers or hot sauces. This recipe is a great base to start from, but then add to suit your own tastes.
