  • Spoon the meat mixture onto hamburger buns and serve.

Notes

Substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for a lower calorie dish.
Our favorite store-bought salsas are Mateo’s, Kyliot’s, Chi-Chi’s, and Trader Joe’s.Here is our recipe for Homemade Salsa:https://www.plainchicken.com/superior-grill-salsa/

Are Salsa Sloppy Joes spicy? The level of heat in these Sloppy Joes will all depend on how hot the salsa is that you use. I used Trader Joe’s salsa and this wasn’t overly spicy. If you are sensitive to heat, be sure to use a mild salsa.
Can I make sloppy joes in the crockpot? Yes. Brown the ground beef and place it in the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on LOW heat for 2-3 hours.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.Reheat in the microwave.
