If you’re into dips that double as dinner, this Sloppy Joe Dip is going to be your new favorite. It packs all the bold, sweet-and-savory flavors of a classic Sloppy Joe into a hot, cheesy dip that’s made for scooping. It’s fast, filling, and totally crave-worthy—just grab some chips or bread and dig in.
Helpful Tips
- Use a good-quality ground beef – Lean ground beef (85/15 or 90/10) gives you rich flavor without too much grease. Be sure to drain well after browning.
- Don’t skip the simmer – Letting the mixture simmer for a full 10 minutes helps all the flavors meld and thickens the sauce so it’s scoopable.
- Serve it hot – This dip is best when it’s warm and melty. Keep it in the skillet or transfer to a small crock to maintain that perfect dip consistency.
