Notes
You do want to make sure that you choose beef. Typically I get a 85/15 which is perfect and then I can just add in about ½ tablespoons of oil. But if you go with leaner meat like chicken, turkey, or 93/7 beef, please be sure to add 1 tablespoon of oil. This way the meat has enough fat in it which aids in the flavor.Sloppy Joe meat mixture can be frozen.Cool: Let the mixture cool down completely and then add to an airtight freezer container for up to 3 to 4 monthsThaw: When ready to eat, thaw the mixture overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving.
