You know Joe. He’s the saucy hero of so many quick-and-easy weeknight meals. But now, Joe’s stepping out — and stepping up. These recipes take the spicy tomato-sauce and ground-beef concept and blow it out. It’s Joe, only moreso.

1. Chef John’s Hot Sloppy Joe Dip

3. Polish Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Józef? Sauerkraut gets it done here. And for even more Polish flare, Barbara K adds crumbled Polish sausage. “I also added about a half cup sour cream at the end,” she says. “And that gave it a great taste as well as the saucy texture of a regular Sloppy Joe.”
