    Everyone loves Sloppy Joes. And everyone loves tacos. I think you know where I’m going with this 😉

    Baked Sloppy Joe Tacos loaded with cheese and veggies. Pass the sour cream, I'm ready!

    Who said tacos had to be anything serious? Forget the days of boring plain ground beef (of which I not-so-secretly love and will never truly abandon). Tacos around here are about anything you can shove inside that crunchy corn wrapper. Pretty much the most perfect meal delivery system on the planet, the taco is ranked very high in my culinary cravings list and there isn’t a night that passes where a creative twist in a tortilla wouldn’t sedate even my wildest hunger.  Best thing is, you can get wild with the flavor combos and mix up a kicking east meets west spicy concoction that friends wouldn’t see coming or keep them down-home and let the slow cooker do the work.

    Baked Sloppy Joe Tacos piled to overflowing on my plate.

    For this jamming weeknight taco fest, I wanted to pair one hands on messy dining experience with another childhood favorite the Sloppy Joe (fun fact: I don’t think I’d ever even had ‘Sloppy Joe’s’ until I was in my late teens). This isn’t the 10-minute weeknight fix that browning some ground beef and sprinkling a seasoning packet on top can be, but it makes for killer leftovers and seems to please even the most picky of eaters. Push comes to shove, the leftovers would be pretty delicious between two slices of classic Wonder Bread too. Talk about meal planning for the week. Heck double or triple this Sloppy Joe Tacos recipe for your next big football party and see what the fans think.

    Grab a shell and see what you can shove inside.

    Baked Sloppy Joe Tacos, yeah I went there.

    Tacos are my happy place.  From the super simple, to the loaded twisted tacos you’ll find on this site.  I want all of them.  Try these out next Tuesday! Do it!

    Baked Sloppy Joe Tacos

    Author: Kita Roberts

    Ingredients

    • 2 tbs olive oil divided
    • 2 lbs lean ground beef
    • 1 onion diced
    • 6 garlic cloves minced
    • 1 14 oz can whole peeled tomatoes
    • 1 12 oz bottle tomato-based chili sauce
    • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
    • 3 tbs ancho chile powder or chili powder
    • 1 tbs garlic powder
    • 1 tbs onion powder
    • 1 tbs brown sugar
    • 1 tbs ground cumin
    • Crisp taco shells warmed
    • Taco fixings: Sour cream lime, avocado, pice de galo, shredded cheese

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
    • In a large skillet over medium-heat, swirl 1 tbs oil to coat pan. When hot, add the ground beef and cook through, breaking up as it browns. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
    • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until brown and softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, and cook until the juices have thickened, 8- 10 minutes. Stir in the Worcestershire, chile, garlic, onion, sugar and cumin. Allow to simmer over low for another 10 minutes.
    • Spread the filling evenly into a 13×9 baking dish and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, getting a nice crust on the top.
    • Let cool 5 minutes before serving up taco bar style.
