How To Freeze: Allow Sloppy Joes: Cool completely. Transfer to an air tight freezer-safe bag. Lay bag flat on a sheet pan and ensure that the mixture is spread out evenly. Freeze overnight. Remove sheet pan and store the sloppy joe for up to 3 months.
How To Reheat Frozen Sloppy Joes: Remove the bag from the freezer and place into the refrigerator overnight (or allow to thaw on counter for 1-2 hours). Pour thawed Sloppy Joe into a large skillet over medium heat and stir frequently until warmed through.
